This shows an incredible depth of fruit with strawberry, cherry, and phenolics. Full-bodied and layered with an incredible, three-dimensional element to the wine. This is so transparent and dynamic with dark fruit, yet it remains vivid and bright. Refined and precise, it goes on and on. Really savory, fresh, and incredibly pinot-noir-like. What a wine. 13 years of maturation in the bottle. So drinkable now, but it will age for many years ahead.

An impeccably balanced and graceful sparkling rosé with a plushly cream mousse flavor. It's hard to tell where the firm spine of well-honed acidity and the expressive range of pureed raspberry, candied ginger, tangerine, and lemon thyme flavors begin or end. A rich hint of smoky toasted brioche plays on the finish. Drink now through 2033.

The 2008 Dom Pérignon Rosé is magnificent. Rich and deep in the glass, the 2008 offers up an exotic mélange of aromas and flavors. Sweet red cherry, mint, orange peel, and rose petal all grace this beguiling beauty. Bright acids and a little less still red Pinot (21%) than in most recent editions yield a Rosé that is delicate and light on its feet, with less of the vinous intensity that marked vintages such as 2006.

Offering up aromas of white flowers, red berries, toast, and fresh pastry, Dom Pérignon rosé 2008 is medium to full-bodied, tense, and vibrant, with a vinous texture and sapid nuances. Delicately phenolic, this is a pure and racy gastronomic Champagne that’s beginning to drink with style and concludes with a long and penetrating finish.
