Longest I've managed to age something myself, from wine tasting w Teddi back in the day. Nice acid, bright berry, spice, tiny hint of smokey. Went great w leftover thanksgiving stir fry — 11 years ago
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 — 10 years ago
It's got so much more life to it. The Churchill will be great in 20 years. — 11 years ago

Surprisingly a deep complex nose right out of the gate..The palate however I found closed and somewhat musty. Like a championship thoroughbred on the first Saturday in May at Churchill Downs this came down the stretch and just kept opening and opening, gaining weight and intensity. It crossed the finish line with honeyed fruit , flowers and hints of stones. Wow. — 10 years ago
