I only had a small taste, but I’ll take it! Smells of oak spice, marijuana, rose petal, pomegranate and forest floor... it smells like vosne. The palate is very elegant, with ripping acidity and a long finish. Gorgeous wine. — 8 years ago

Brilliant ruby color. A bit tight out of the bottle, with barnyard aromas but after an hour+ of decanting, reveals lovely rose petal, oolong tea, raspberry, and mint aromas. — 8 years ago

Marshal White

9.3

A nose of raspberry liqueur, rosewater, sappy pine/stem aromas, and horsey/leathery gaminess. Soft, silky, and with a wonderful sweetness. This bottle was clean as a whistle and just wonderful. — 9 years ago

Pulled the cork on Saturday night to begin a slow oxidation. 12 hours later double decanted. Seriously reduced even after the double decant, but giving off a bit of the fabulous rose petal if you work for it. Now on Monday afternoon, still fairly tannic. A bit more of the exotic in the nose, but not particularly generous on Monday afternoon. Out of respect for the countless passions provided by other bottles and other vintages of this wine, I'll give it a 9, but the rest of this case clearly needs to sleep some years longer. — 9 years ago

Just over ice with a twist of lemon or orange. Pretty citrus and spice notes. Too bad there was so little made. Makes me wish I had a bigger bottle! — 10 years ago

Tonight begins another weekend and we have to start it off right. I have heard so much about the Ruinart Rosé Champagne so I finally had to try it out. 55% Pinot Noir, 45%Chardonnay then there is 20-25% blended from the previous 2 years.

On the nose are loads of intense fresh red berries, ripe strawberries, fresh cherry, pomegranate, mint and rose petal floral notes.

On the palate is fresh effervescence of cherry, fresh strawberry, red currant, blood orange and lime.

This is a medium bodied wine with medium + acidity, clean, well blended and elegantly fresh. A beautiful enjoyable drinking champagne. Let's all have a great weekend and please be safe. Nostrovia! 🍾🍾🍾🍾 — 8 years ago

2012 Matteo Correggia's 'Anthos' dry Brachetto, yum! A riper vintage but of such suppleness, lush rose petal & ripe juicy raspberry leaf. Dry, yet lovey. A #perfectpairing to pizza & rosemary flatbread. — 10 years ago

9.2

Light purple with hints of orange and brown. Medium-light body. Opened slightly tightly with notes of cola, earth, and bark. Some air (2 hours) revealed a rose-petal, cherry skin nose, and a lovely jammy palate. The medium to high acidity balances it very nicely. Some earth remained throughout. Very nice - recommended! — 11 years ago

9.3

Nose has a lovely soft red fruited perfume with dried rose petal, and a gentle yet intense Chinese five spice, some notes of dried forest floor and a sweet smokiness, incredibly attractive.
In the mouth there is a vibrant, mouth tingling acidity, little discernible tannin and a dry berry finish which is subtle but very long, spice notes still detectable after a minute+. — 11 years ago

Good anise, forest floor, spices to round out the dark fruit. Love the rose petal notes. Tannins are elegant but would love to taste this again in a few years. — 8 years ago

Conrad Green

9.7

A gorgeous, soft rose petal nose. Delicate, deep, pretty with hints of orange blossom, tea and all kinds of resolved cherry fruit. Light, but beautifully deep. There’s a plush, haunting quality to this wine but it is light, translucent and ethereal. This is exquisite. — 8 years ago

An overall translucent red with a broad crimson core extending to a thick ruby border with a thin orange brick rim. Medium plus intensity of aroma in the nose floral dominant and mineral driven (chalk). Rose petal, dried green herbs, tomato leaf. Subtle fruit aromas are ripe, red cherry candy, raspberry jam. Tactile sensations initially dominate the palate, high levels of acid and chalky astringency linger with medium plus alcohol 13.5%ABV but ultimate reveals a seductive mouth filling, medium finish featuring fresh red fruit perfume, ripe red cherry,basil, black pepper, and a touch of savory bacon, black olive, and wood smoke — 9 years ago

2005 vintage. Seductive nose, much lighter body in color and in the mouth, acidity higher. Tons of rose petal and tar. Finish was only weak point - thought it was a bit too tannic and spicy — 10 years ago
