Pol Roger Brut Extra Cuvée de Reserve--Vintage 1955
Épernay
Excellent appearance
"For no good reason I appear to have tasted this only once. After 40 years it was pale for its age, a lovely yellow gold with perfect mousse; lovely creamy bouquet; not brut at all, a nice touch of ripe sweetness, perfect flavour, weight, balance and finish. Provided by Pol Roger, and presumably recently disgorged, for the dinner at Ch Palmer on the 40th anniversary of the first visit of Daphne and myself to Bordeaux in the summer of 1955. Consumed with pleasure and gratitude, June 1995 *****." MB, Vintage Wine
