1988 Pol Roger Champagne Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill, Brut - France, Champagne (4/13/2007)
WIML94,NOWA,WS94

Tasted April 13, 2007 at an offline. Tasted from magnum. Opened and served immediately. Light yellow color in the glass, clear hue throughout with a full mousse. Nose of brioche early on with some pears and light spice notes. Maybe just a touch of sherry as well. Flavors of crisp yellow apples dominate with some citrus oil like components underneath. Crisp and youthful acidity with a medium body. This is still a very young Champagne and should hold for quite some time, especially in this format. (94 pts.)
