  The Second Avery Family Cellar Wine Dinner - Really old wines (The Grill Room at the Rosewood DC): Sound looking bottle with a good fill level. Delicate nose displaying shy yellow fruit, slightly oxidize apple, lanoline, toffee, ginger and mineral. Soft, warm and round, shy medium mousse, slightly lacking acidity hence lacking energy and precision and a medium finish.

  A rather disappointing entry in a recent Pol Roger Churchill vertical. Earthy, grainy, and a bit sour. Tired mousse, and little fruit aroma remains. Perhaps it's just over the hill, or storage was sub-par. But given several other notes here with similar observations, I'd tend to think more that this particular vintage is just not up to par with what is normally one of the grandest prestige cuvées of all the Grande Marque houses.

  From 1.5L. Disjointed - decent on the front but an oxidized, unpleasant finish. Mushroom. Some dark citrus notes. Good mousse. Didn't get corked at all... Just not right. Too bad.
