Aside from Krug and Dom on SQ, not much I've actually been on a bit of a champagne kick lately, so I've been trying out different kinds. I purchased the Bollinger a few months ago in a wine shop. So I don't think it was stored improperly.

It did smell a bit like wet cardboard. It wasn't overpowering, but it was definitely there. From what I understand, corking is somewhat rare. But between the smell and the bland taste, I couldn't bring myself to drink anymore of it.
