HAPPY NEW YEAR!

#AgedWineTuesday

Pretty color of peach with a dark golden hue.

Fresh on the nose with limes, raspberries, strawberries, lemons, green apples, herbs, yeast, minerals, spices and light earth.

Medium bodied with medium plus acidity and tiny bubbles.

Dry on the palate with peaches, apricots, apples, raspberries, cherries, spices, herbs, yeast, light brioche, minerals and white pepper.

Long finish with limes and light bitter herbs.

This 18 year old Rosé Champagne is absolutely fantastic. Drinking very fresh right now, elegant and rich.

Showing nice complexity with a nice mouthfeel. Well balanced and very entertaining.

Needed 30 minutes to open up and show its complexity, but good right out of the bottle too.

Wine Enthusiasts 95 points. Wine Advocate 96 points.

Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.

Easy drinking and good by itself or with food. Delicious stuff.

A blend of 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay. Aged for 6 years on the lees, with 20% in oak barrels.

12% alcohol by volume.

93 points.

I thought this champagne was phenomenal - right up there Cristal, my usual favorite. Rich, sleek, and seductive. Lemon, pear, brioche, and a hint of toffee. Memorable! — 4 months ago

We had this a few days ago and I misplaced my notes. Citrus mineral and intensity I recall. Probably committing infanticide drinking this now but there were good reasons to. Firstly our son and wife plus our daughter home for Christmas from New York and secondly my retirement after 53 years at McDonald Group. — 11 days ago

Drank this bottle over a week, no decline whatsoever. Cristal clear, lemony saltiness, all about finesse and balance. One can cellar this for at least 10 years to come. — 7 months ago
