Pol Roger Brut Champagne Cuvee Sir Winston Churchill 2000

Description

eRobertParker.com #203 Nov 2012 Antonio Galloni RATED 94 Drink: 2012 – 2030 The first thing that is evident about the 2000 Brut Cuvee Sir Winston Churchill is its finesse and total silkiness. The 2000 is a rich, creamy and deeply expressive Winston Churchill. I dont see the 2000 being an especially long-term ager, but it is wonderfully radiant and open today. Hints of pastry, spice, apricots and succulent ripe pears blossom on the expansive, broad-shouldered finish. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2030. Score: 93 Country: France Region: Champagne Issue: Dec 31, 2012 Smoky, with firm structure and a minerally base note, this offers a fine, creamy texture and hints of dried apricot, lemon curd, cassis, biscuit and blanched almond. The lingering finish echoes the minerality with a touch of oyster shell. Drink now through 2018. 375 cases imported. AN
