Tried side by side with the '98 which was interesting and seemed to split the group. This wine definitely had more of the age character - poured a lighter and was just a bit less fruity and a bit more secondary and almost a touch herbal in style.

A bunch of years ago we had our first LGD Rose and absolutely loved it and yet have spent very little time chasing this wine even as we've gotten much more into champagne. Every time I have another one of these I feel like that was a miss. This is great. It's a darker style of rose champagne. Darker fruits, more body, more heft. The kindof wine that almost wants to be paired with a steak or at least a big fatty meat. Really delicious.
Get Together (MK's home): First time with an aged rose champagne. Aromas of caramel, apples, copious flowers. Nutty caramel on palate with apples and flowers. With more air, the wine becomes more seamless and elegant with the aged, oxidative flavors merging with the apples and flowers. Nice acids and mild bubbles. Very nice.
