1999 Pol Roger, Brut Réserve

"A rich forward and wonderfully flamboyant Pol, made from the usual 60% Pinot Noir, 40% Chardonnay blend, sourced from 20 villages, mostly Grand Cru ( the balance Premier cru) from the lower Montage and upper Côtes and then aged for 48 months. Honied, balanced and finely structured, this is the best 99 Champagne I have tasted so far. Approachable now, but by no means lacking in complexity."
(Simon Field MW, BBR Buyer)

Very opulent and glorious and exotic. Solid and maybe slightly richer than some. Very hedonistic. Rich. Real crowd pleaser - as my daughter's wedding proved. The exotic perfume just soared out of the glass long before anyone had tasted it.
