Tasting notes
Magnum. Bronze colour, fully mature but still alive, and actually in a much happier state than some of the mid-90s vintages. It's colourful, characterful, still very much alive and kicking – though the fizz has gone and the flavours have moved into a non-fruit spectrum almost entirely. A beautiful, noble specimen. (RH)

Pol Roger’s 1975 Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill, here in its debut release and from magnum, is utterly spellbinding. Pastry, pear, peach, apricot, brioche and a gentle hint of spice open up in a captivating, resonant Champagne of the highest level. The combination of toastiness and freshness recalls Dom Pérignon’s 1975 Oenothèque, which is still one of the greatest Champagnes I have ever tasted.
Sadly, a magnum of Pol Roger's 1975 Sir Winston Churchill, here in its first vintage, is slightly corked and impossible to evaluate.
