  June 24, 2018 - At first I thought this wine was dead. Gripped the bottle, turned the cork and not even the slightest sound of a 'phut'. Poured and it exploded with an effervescent mousse before settling down to a very gentle stream of tiny bubbles. The colour is a deep golden hue with only the faintest tinge of pink. On sight you wouldn't really know this is a rose; nose of strawberry and bread; medium body, full flavour, concentrated, rich and mellow. Good length. Clearly feeling it's age, but at 20 that's hardly surprising. My favourite Roederer wine of the range. I personally think this has more class even than Cristal. It's now past it's peak, but rather a grand old dame; wrinkled around the edges, but still exuding class.
