1996 Pol Roger, Brut, Cuvee Sir Winston Churchill (RT98) This absolutely stunning wine was served from magnum, which contributed to its freshness and vibrancy. Insanely delicious, it comes darting out of the gate with laser-focused fruit that is both deep and complex as notes of Canary melon, lemon zest, fresh figs, hints of ginger and limestone dust comprise the foreground. The background details evolve and morph as notes of brioche, almond and chamomile do their dance. The focus of the minerality is mind blowing, as the fruit core maintains its freshness beyond imagination. The finish on the 1996 Sir Winston Churchill goes on and on, this is truly and exceptional showing for this wine. Amazeballs! Drink now-2041+
