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

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

Sweet cherry, leather, tobacco, very floral & elegant showing more finesse than power with rose petal & violet notes. Soldera is in a league of its own! — 9 years ago

At first very delicate, almost like a rose petal fading away; at second, it gained some weight and grip; but at the finish, one of the most composed and confident NSG in my recent memory. Thanks #eliewineco — 10 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

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

This is a lot of wine for the $$. Lovely rose petal aromas. Delicious. Dark fruit balanced by classic Barolo bitterness. — 11 years ago

Dried red fruits, sour cherry, balsamic, rose petal, camphor and saddle leather, very sweet on the palate and coats your tongue with polished tannins and nice acidity, very nice vintage for Monfortino. — 12 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

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

2005. Primal nose, very closed. Hints if rose petal, tar, cherry pit and loam. Reminds me of Chiavennasca grapes from Valtellina. — 11 years ago

Nice and clean, enjoying it with and without food. It has a touch of oak, which is very pleasant, and lends to the toasty vanilla notes that the label describes. On the first evening I opened it I tasted cherries and thought it was lovely and balanced. I also got the hints of florals that the label names "rose petal". However, on the third day, I struggle to detect the cherry and florals. But that doesn't come into play in its' score (I don't usually leave a wine bottle with wine in it for three days). Overall, I would like to have this wine in stock and at home, and I would recommend it to all my Pinot Noir enthusiasts. — 11 years ago

Tight, reserve yet polished upon opening. 很女性很温柔的感觉。After 15 min in the glass emerge with cherry liqueur, perfume, rose petal, gaining a bit more weight, expansive on palate and solid yet delicate finish. 非常柔亮，有10年清冷坚实的结构。 — 13 years ago
