Five years cork age on this beauty; glad the decision was taken to drink (now who relies on natural cork); wildly full of pinot noir development; nose heaviness; layers of mature pinot tertiary aromatics; such as herbal oils, deep nuts, mushroom, aged yeast bits too; drunk with raw scallop, celery, fennel shavings, mullet bottarga; dressed with lime, olive oil; Pol brings out the savouriness of the green vegetables; salt of the sea, sweetness of scallop; all veges home grown; palate is full on; powerful, not the massiveness of Winston Churchill but same mould; square wine which hardly tapers in the mouth; the amazing feats of champagne! @polroger #polroger #champagne #1999 #pinot

The 1999 Pol Roger Brut Extra Cuvée de Reserve is a blend of 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay and delivers aromas of crisp green apple, flint and smoke. In the mouth, notes of preserved lemon, dried pear, and tangerine weave through a coursing band of acidity. It's on the austere side, despite a lilting, slightly sweet finish that is laced with and mace and dried apricot.

(17.5/20) Золотистый цвет. Сложный, красивый аромат прелой листвы, грибов, бородинского хлеба, молочного шоколада, крекеров, яблок, в развитии появляется кофейная нота. Тельное, с умеренной кислотностью. Во вкусе сливки, сдоба, груши и яблоки, абрикосовый джем. Великолепное выдержанное шампанское!
