Gould Campbell, Vintage other_regions_italy Pol Roger's 2012 Brut Blanc

Pol Roger's 2012 Brut Blanc de Blancs is terrific

but it is already beginning to unwind

lush and fruity with its layers of licorice infused plums

(88-91)/2016+

Otherwise there is good freshness and verve to the detailed and intense middle weight flavors that possess better depth than most examples along with fine persistence

Gould Campbell, Vintage other_regions_italy Pol Roger's 2012 Brut BlancMedium deep ruby. Liqueur like aromas of black raspberry, black cherry, cassis, smoked meat, minerals and maple syrup. Juicy, intensely flavored and medium sweet; not unctuous but offers very good intensity and snap. Flavors of black fruits and licorice. A round, nicely balanced wine whose slightly fiery but persistent finish features rather fine tannins and good grip. Stephen Tanzer
