Tasting Notes
Pol Roger's newly released 2012 Cuvee Sir Winston Churchill is showing brilliantly, bursting from the glass with youthful aromas of honey pears, toasted brioche, pomelo, fresh pastry, green apple, and mandarin orange, with hints of stone fruit emerging with time in the glass. Full Bodied, Vinous, and textural, with an enveloping core of fleshy, concentrated fruit, bright acids and an elegant pinpoint mousse, it concludes with a long, penetrating finish. more muscular and vibrant than the generous and charming 2009, the 2012 ranks alongside with the 2008 and 2002 as one of the three finest renditions of Sir Winston Churchill this millennium - and in style it resembles a hypothetical blend of those two vintages. 96+/100 RP
