A very vinous rosé with sliced strawberry and peach aromas and flavors with a steely undertone. Hints of cream and biscuit. It’s medium-bodied, tight, linear and precise with pinpointed structure that goes straight to the center palate and carries on through the long finish. Very fine tannins provide drive and length. Drink or hold. - James Suckling

Medium salmon pink with silver and gold reflections, and a fine, delicate mousse. Hints of red fruits of the forest, nuances of almond cake, subtle herbal savouriness, smoky minerality, and subtle herbs. Juicy, complex, delicate strawberry, verbena, mint and lemon balm. The wine has fine acidity, is compact and long, mineral and substantial. It is very youthful and complex, with limes in the finish. Perfect to drink now but has more years ahead. (11/5/2023).-Peter Moser, Falstaff

The balance between maturity and fruit in this Champagne is exemplary. It gives both ripeness to the red-currant fruits and a fine nutty richness that meld together seamlessly. This is a beautiful wine, perfectly ready to drink but also sure to age well in bottle. - Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast

A richly fragrant rosé Champagne, leading with grilled nut and ground coffee notes, segueing into exotic saffron and curry spice aromas that season the palate's panoply of poached apricot, toasted brioche, spun honey and crème de cassis flavors. Shows a fine, satiny mousse, with a bright spine of acidity that creates a long, mouthwatering frame for the expanding profile. Disgorged spring 2018. Drink now through 2030. - Alison Napjus, Wine Spectator

Elaborated with 71% of reserve wine (seven different vintages, 2006 to 2012) and with 11% of red wine, this Krug rosé 24e Édition possesses an elegant, yet complex nose of peony, rose, raspberries, blackberries and some lemon hints. Touches of pepper with aeration. On the palate, the texture is dense and balanced, moderately weighted and very aromatic (rose, strawberry and spring flowers). This is a superb Krug rosé that gives the impression of aerial lightness on the long finish. Dosage: 6g/L Drinking Window 2021 - 2035 - YC, Decanter
