 83rd Academy Awards SIP. WATCH. TWEET™ with Pol Roger Brut Rosé

Almost as golden as Oscar himself Pol Roger Brut Rose has an  intense golden pink color. Almost as bold and powerful as Jesse Eisinberg's real life character Mark Zuckerberg the nose is ripe and full of berry flavors. Flavors of uber ripe strawberry and raspberry. It is intense and in your face. The taste however has 0.0 berries in it, it is filled with dried apricot and spearmint notes. Mint notes like that of a Cuban Mojito that my beshert loves so much. Champagne usually has a crisp, short, sharp finish; however this one has a pleasant long finish that ends with a "Black Swan"-like berry flavor.
