Written Notes

Bollinger Côte aux Enfants 2004 Bit muted and rustic nose with dark red, plummy fruit and rustic notes of leather, earth and herbs. Dark, plummy, cherry fruit attack that starts out astringent, rounds of on the mid-palate and turns more sweet on the finish without being heavy or flat.
