I have not had many DP Rose’s. On the nose, extremely expressive scents of red fruits & flowers. One of the most powerful champagnes I have tasted. I felt like my taste buds were being held hostage by various red fruit and acid. An unapologetic finish that handcuffed my mouth.. — 23 days ago
Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of 90 minutes. The 2013 pours a deep garnet with an opaque core and a rusty brown rim; medium viscosity with moderate staining of the tears and significant sediment. On the nose, the wine is vinous with desiccated dark fruit, salmiakki, leather, espresso, and a Maillard reaction thing. On the palate, the wine is dry it’s high tannin and medium acid at best…probably medium-. The finish is medium. Drink now. — 7 months ago
Someone said a touch of cork? I’m not sure. Lovely stuff.., soft and complex with subtle acidity. Really complex — 18 days ago
Lovely and poised. Still fresh. Great — 11 days ago
Certainly a very good vintage. Just never overly embraced Dom. But this is nice, beautiful in fact.
The entry is soft & even subtle. Lemon pulp, lime pulp w/ some zest, orange citrus blend, just ripe pineapple flesh, mango, green tropical melon, under ripe cantaloupe, whipped cream, soft/light white spice, sea spray, excellent, crumbled to powdery, dry chalkiness, lightly yeasty, bread dough to baguette crust, grey volcanics, limestone, hints of fresh & dry herbs, yellow lilies, spring flower & jasmine, excellent, soft acidity with a well balanced, gentle structure & tensioned, superbly elegant & smartly polished finish that lasts 90 seconds and land on fruit and gentle volcanics.

a baby. Like the 08 but more translucent and sophisticated. Delicate and thrilling. Still a pup — 18 days ago
Such a special champagne from a special vintage. Who cares if it's a grand Maison and not growers... — 2 months ago

It has been awhile since I’ve had their Rosé and it is exceeding expectations.
Beautiful mousse, lively acidity but delicate. Lots of co2. Strawberries, white Rainer cherries, blood orange led citrus blend, raspberry hues, frothy whipped cream, some light caramel notes, really nice mid white spice-just right, volcanic minerals, sea spray, chalky powder with some small bits, brioche to baguette crust, red & pink roses, excellent acidity, very well balanced, perfect tone-tension, smartly polished elegant finish that lasts nearly two-minutes and lands on balanced fruit & spice.
It makes a push for 95 but not quite there. Plenty of life ahead. 15-20 years plus.
