MV Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin Brut Rose Reserve

91 pts(WS)    Bright and expressive, with mouthwatering acidity and refined texture, layered with black cherry, spiced plum, almond skin, honey and candied ginger notes. Shows lovely balance, offering a lasting finish of smoky mineral. Drink now through 2020.  Wine Spectator  (11/ 2013)

90 pts(W&S)   A whimsical play on fruit and spice, this is delicate enough to hint at an orange blossom scent and meaty enough to serve with cured sausages. It bristles with acidity over red fruit, lasting on heady complexity.   Wine & Spirits (12/ 2013)

90pts (WE)  This is a beautiful, full rosé that is rich and shows a fine balance between acidity and fruitiness. This bottling is also mature with toastiness coming through, giving a softer, rounder character. There is weight, and great acidity on the finish.  Wine Enthusiast    (12/ 2013)
