Tasted side-by-side with the 1996, Bollinger's RD 1995 bucked the trend of the 1996s feeling less assured than the 1995s. It's a reminder, too, that bottle condition can play a defining role at this age. Nevertheless it's a vinous, savoury Champagne full of ageing characters like roasted plums and lemons, dried mushroom, powdered ginger and musky notes. The palate shows honey-nut richness, chewy apricot skin and slightly slack energy. It's deep and complex, yet, at least in this bottle, tipping to over-maturity.
