About the SessionJust how well do modern-era South African wines perform as they get older ? One of the most important measures of great wine is that it should be age-worthy, that is it should become more pleasurable and more interesting to drink with time in the bottle.

Critics Ratings
'Crisp apples and tight minerality come together in a satisfyingly ripe wine. It is young, showing its fruity side and only just moving to its future complexity. But this will be a fine, structured Champagne. Drink from 2022.' – Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast, 94/100 (Dec 2020)
'This expressive blanc de blancs indulges the palate with its creamy, lightly plush texture and bright and juicy acidity, a lovely canvas for aromas and flavors of ripe pineapple and apricot fruit, elderflower, lemon curd and salted almond. Drink now through 2030.' – Alison Napjus, Wine Spectator, 93/100 (Dec 2021)
'The 2013 Blanc de Blancs is another terrific wine in this range from Pol Roger. It offers up a melange of apricot, honey, chamomile, dried herbs. The ripeness of the Chardonnays comes through in burnished tropical accents that lend on exotic flair. Drink over the next decade or so.' – Antonio Galloni, Vinous, 92/100 (Nov 2021)
