Okay, so although my New Year's Eve plans weren't really exciting or anything, we did enjoy ourselves. A few hours before midnight, we broke into the champagne, because we weren't sure we were going to make it to see the ball drop. We decided to crack open one of the bottles we bought while we were in Paris. We figured why not have the Champagne direct from France. I carried this bottle out of France in my backpack into Newark Airport. It was Bollinger Special Cuvee Brut, Champagne. None of us really thought it was that great. I've actually had some of this before at my Champagne class, and I 
remember liking it then. This time it was dissappointing. I dont' know if we got a bad bottle, or something happened in storage, but overall, it was lackluster. What about it was so bad? I'm not really sure. My wife thought it tasted like apricots.Anyway, after not enjoying our first bottle, we decided to open another when midnight came around. This time we had Perrier Jouet Grand Brut, Champagne. Now this was good champagne. Light and crisp and a little fruity. I thought this was a nice way to drink in the new year.

It sounds like your Bolly was corked. It should be powerful, more like a red wine than a Champagne.
Happy New Year, by the way.
