Finishes impressively long and bright

layered and firm medium-bodied flavors that are sweet

forward style of the year

Pol Roger's 2012 Brut Blanc de Blancs is terrific

There is excellent richness to the concentrated and beautifully textured broad-shouldered flavors that possess focused power and a subtle minerality that really comes up on the youthfully austere and strikingly long finish

Francois Lamarche, Clos Vougeot other_regions_italy Finishes impressively long and bright(from 3 different parcels, one at the bottom and two at the top but on opposite sides). A fresh, cool and perfumed nose of mostly red currant and cherry is liberally laced with notes of earth, underbrush and oak nuances. There is a very forward, even lush palate impression to the bigger, richer and more powerful flavors that also possess fine mid palate concentration though not necessarily better persistence. This too will need a few years of cellar
