Tasting Notes
Robert Parker 94
The 1998 Brut Cuvee Sir Winston Churchill opens with intriguing, exotic notes of smoke, cured meats and tar. This is a big, sweeping Sir Winston Churchill endowed with layers of perfumed ripe pears, quince, flowers and spices in a style that balances a generous expression of fruit with acidity and minerality. Everything is in the right place in this delicate yet deeply satisfying Champagne. This bottle was disgorged at the beginning of 2007. Winston Churchill is Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, with Pinot playing the leading role. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2023.

Disgorged October 2008. Deep gold. Really mature and savoury. Dense and tight knit at first. Mature. Long and reverberant with great undertow. But with time in the glass it seemed tiny bit loose. Not sure this bottle is that much better than the Vintage 1998?
Anticipated maturity: 2012-2025
