Tasting Notes
Richard Juhlin 95
The legendary champagne that was the first when Pol Roger stopped mourning Sir Winston and abandoned the mourning band etiquette and instead created this tribute cuvee to the man who was voted the most important person of the last millennium. I have previously only tasted the gem with Christain Pol Roger in the Vinotheque version so it was incredibly exciting to enjoy this magnum with my close friends in Singapore. The mousse was almost non-existent, the color, on the other hand, was completely normal and the wine’s bouquet ultra-typical for exactly the way we have come to expect the house’s prestige champagne to be composed in recent vintages. Extremely dark and cloying with tar, dark chocolate, heavy breadiness, croissant and blue-red fruit. Still magnificent even though a bit of life and energy has been lost over time.
