Pol Roger Tasting

[wdonovan]

Never been a big PR fan. We think the NV is too sweet, bordering on what we'd call an extra dry but.... We were given a '98 about 6 months ago and served it at a dinner party last Saturday (against lobster & crab cannelloni with a tomato / cream sauce). We were both impressed. Seemed like from a different Champagne house than the off-the-rack NV. Very elegant bottle. Placed just right for our pairing, it was right in the middle of the road, bodywise. Good fruit and yeast that gave it complexity without overpowering the fruit. I may get a couple more while they're available.
