Pol Roger Vintage Extra Cuvee de Reserve Brut Champagne 2004

Vivid yellow. Ripe, mineral-accented orchard fruits and buttered toast on the deeply scented nose, with a sexy floral nuance in the background. On the palate, intense pear and tangerine flavors expand and gain spiciness with air. At once rich and lively, this Champagne finishes with excellent precision and lingering mineral and floral notes. Score - 93. (Josh Raynolds, vinousmedia.com, Dec. 2014)
