1998 Pol Roger Cuvee Sir Winston Churchill Brut Champagne, France

(94 Points) Tasted from magnum, this is an excellent Winston Churchill that is well defined and more expressive on the nose compared to the bottle, with subtle notes of toffee apple, crushed almond and a little honey. The palate is very elegant and demonstrates more weight and ambition than the 99, brioche and lime leaf furnishing the finish. This is just lovely. Drink now-2025. Tasted March 2010.
