Description
"The robe of Sir Winston Churchill's 21st vintage features a beautiful shiny gold and a bead of very fine bubbles, both characteristic of the long aging lavished on this cuvée. The nose is of a beautiful expression and opens immediately on notes of spices and pepper accompanied by menthol nuances. The complexity is obvious: aromas of candied fruit and dried fruit complemented by hazelnut are mixed with notes of exotic fruits such as papaya or mango. The nose is particularly open and generous. The palate is also very generous, where the aromas of candied fruit are supported by notes of pastries, brioche and cocoa. It presents a beautiful structure and the large proportion of Pinot Noir gives it the roundness and the shoulders that one expects from the cuvée. The mouth is also marked by a very good length which makes you want to associate it with moments of great gastronomy." - House Notes
"Very complex nose with a wide spectrum of candied citrus, dried peach and mirabelle tart aromas. Bold and rich, particularly on the mid-palate, but with a great deal of subtlety and delicacy for the vintage. This is already delicious, but at the finish you really taste how this has been made for the long term. Great drive and persistence right at the end." - 96 Points, James Suckling
