Pol Roger Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill 2015

Chamomile, dried herbs and lemon oil open with quiet authority on this taut, flinty Churchill. A lithe, focused frame carries dried pear and a thread of cool mint, with stony precision running through every sip. The tension here is the point, restrained rather than expressive, built on structure over immediate generosity. Give it five or more years to fully unwind.
