Nice champagne but does not compare to the balance of the same vintage Winston Churchill cuvée but did not expect it to. The latter gave me a permanent smile all evening. There was an element of citrus pith and chalk in the finish that was a little obtrusive.

I found this bottle of the '13 to be expressive on the nose but to be somewhat soft and anonymous on the palate. It just doesn't seem to have substantial structure for aging. That said, the finish was lengthy and had nice focus, so perhaps there is depth to the wine I'm not finding.

Excellent bottle of champagne. This is too good to just serve alone. Should pair nicely with pretty well any type of food. Superior to Dom P at significantly less $.

Overall not my favorite Pol Roger. I think I also may have drank it slightly too warm. Notes of biscuit and yeast.

Nice mouse opens up to toast, almonds and citrus. Finishes with lemon coming to the front on the finish.
