"The Krug Rosé “20ème Édition” is starting to take full flight, as this marvelous wine from the base year of 2007, has had a chance to stretch out a bit as its structural elements have relaxed and it is now drinking with marvelous generosity. The cépages for this wine is forty-seven percent pinot noir, thirty-seven percent chardonnay and only sixteen percent pinot meunier, with roughly a third of the wines included in its make up being reserve wines. Today the wine is wide open and lovely, offering up a constellation of strawberries, cantaloupe, tangerine, chalky soil tones, plenty of smokiness, cinnamon, cardamom and a beautiful topnote of orange blossoms. On the palate the wine is pure, bright and full-bodied, with a generous personality, exceptional depth at the core, refined mousse and a long, zesty and seamlessly balanced finish of lovely complexity and breed. Great, great juice."

"A distinct coppery colour with amber highlights. Superbly pretty. I notice this particular bottle has six years cork-ageing after being disgorged in the winter of 2015. The wine is moving into early mature middle age, showing tantalising complexity now: a touch of toffee, walnut, rich tea biscuit and sweet prunes. There is a silk mousse texture and it is all zipped up with a precise and bracing redcurrant racy finish. Quite a finale, positive freshness which promises more to come. Main harvest: 2007. 32% reserves. Aged for more than seven years on lees. 10% red wine. Disgorged: Late 2015."

"Really quite a deep orangey colour. Real evolution on the Pinot-dominated nose. Flattering breadth with a relatively low acid impression. Firm structure. Very long." 

Alcohol: 12.5%
