TASTING NOTE: Pol Roger's 2008 Brut Vintage is bright and energetic, but also tightly wound and not fully expressive today. There is good energy to the orchard fruit and citrus driven flavors, not to mention plenty of acid-driven persistence. I would prefer to cellar the 2008 for at least a year or two to see what happens. Drinking Window: 2020- 2028. Score - 90 (Antonio Galloni, vinous.com, July 2017) Price $ 96.95
Bottle Size 750 mL
Tasting Date vintages release - June 9, 2018
