This was a really exceptional. Every now and then Dom rosé can be a little bit of a head scratcher. I have loved many bottles though. I believe this is the first 2008 I’ve drunk. It was bristling with freshness, and energy and tons of deep, dark, red strawberries, and a little rhubarb. It was braced with beautiful minerals, rock dust maybe some deep dark purple/red clay. It frank terrifically as it was bright and ebullient. I really liked it.

Epic night at Capasso. Tasted blind. Drank in Gabriel Standart. Appearance is clear, pale intensity, reddish pink colour. Thin legs. Frothy bubbles. Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of fruity expressive cherries, strawberries, fresh red apples, oyster-shell mineral undertow. Developing. On the palate, dry, soft high acidity, medium- alcohol (12.5%), soft medium+ body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of fruity strawberries, peaches, red apples, red cherries, raspberry. Lovely long finish. Very good quality. So fruity expressive on pop and pour already. Nothing shy at all here. Much unlike the 2008 Dom Pérignon Champagne.

I drank the Lady Gaga limited edition 11 months ago. It was identical wine except for the packaging and label.
Medium rose gold, pink salmon color with fine, vigorous bubbles. Citrus, raspberry, unripe strawberry, white peach and nuts. Medium to medium-full bodied, high acidity, medium structure, medium alcohol and very long finish. Crisp, smooth and well-balanced.
Wine had evolved a little since 11 months ago. It had become a little rounder and felt less acidic on the palate; otherwise similar notes. Every time we popped open a bottle, it made everyone in the room festive. A true mood-lifting magic potion.

Won't score....this particular bottle wasn't giving much. May need to revisit in a couple years.
