Pol Roger Frog King edition

Pol Roger Frog King editionPol Roger Brut Reserve NV displays a brilliant golden straw hue with fine, persistent bubbles. The nose offers ripe pear, white peach, and honeysuckle, followed by subtle notes of vanilla and brioche. On the palate, flavors of quince jelly and apricot mingle with fresh acidity and a delicate, structured finish. A classic Champagne of elegance and poise, presented in a gift box.

palate coating and ultra-saline finish that goes on and on

It has moderate alcohol

The middle weight flavors possess a mouth feel that is almost a hypothetical combination of the Lavières and Aux Allots in that it's quite rich yet sleek with a seductive succulence

remarkably youthful wine is still not fully mature

fresh and energetic medium full flavors that are supple

it's not clear that the supporting tannins will harmonize with the finish

The 1993 Cabernet Sauvignon Herb Lamb Vineyard (which has been bottled and will be released in 1996) should turn out to be one of the most exceptional wines of the vintage

Full-bodied and tannic

A brooding and intensely earthy nose is comprised by notes of both red and dark berries that are trimmed in soft spice and sauvage hints

it still has some at least

This is a bit on the pricey side for a 20

have persuaded me that this wine is one of the most exciting and remarkable young Cabernet Sauvignons I have tasted
