Lemon curd, brioche, sweet acidity. — 4 years ago
Tasted over Christmas 2024. My first time trying Pol Roger, and a really great experience – this was a tick above many of the Grandes Marques and I found it to be quite refined. I suspect the dosage is fairly high, since it was so very drinkable, but no complaints from me! — a month ago

Had it at Tia pol distributed by scuola. Perfect orange. Tannins on nose. Well balanced even tho mild acidity. — a year ago
Yes.
Its exact composition is a “closely-guarded” family secret, but would assume 60-75% Pinot Noir / 25-40% Chardonnay. 2012 is in a great spot now (+13 years), but it could clearly be set aside for another 5-10+ years to develop even more. Dense, medium+/full-bodied, complex, layered, and simply damn delicious. The SWC will likely always remain my absolute favorite (particularly in strong vintages such as this 2012). Cheers to 2025! — 2 months ago

Dark ruby in color with a reddish rim.
Full bodied with high acidity to balance the sugars.
Sweet on the palate with nice complexity.
Showing blackberries, black currants, cooked raisins, cedar, spices, vanilla, licorice, chocolates, tobacco, mocha, light earth and herbs.
Long finish with cherries.
This is a gorgeous sweet wine from Portugal. Rich with great balance and a soft mouthfeel.
The 1994 vintage was an exceptional vintage, so I was very excited to try it when I saw it on the wine list.
Smells very young, although it smelled a little oxidized right out of the bottle, which went away after 20 minutes of airtime.
Drinking beautifully now, and will continue to age nicely in the next 20 years.
Good by itself or with food. I paired it with a Fourme d'Ambert blue cheese. So nicely paired, tasty and decadent.
A great experience to try these kind of wines from special vintages.
20% alcohol by volume.
95 points.
