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

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. — 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. — 10 years ago

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

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. — 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

Ron Siegel

9.4

Started out a little funky with a slight curry and old furniture but started to blow off and developed into a classic Barolo with dried cherry, Rosemary, tobacco and rose petal. Still a baby and needs more time. I am a big fan of this producer! — 11 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

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

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
