Tasting notes
The 1995 Comtes de Champagne Rosé is starting to show the signs of maturity in its aromas and flavors, yet it remains powerful, explosive and decidedly masculine. Hard candy, dried flowers, mint and sweet red berries meld together gracefully in the glass. Deceptively medium in body, but with broad shoulders and notable intensity, the 1995 has enough depth and stuffing to drink well for at least a number of years.

Disgorged end of 2011. Mid salmon pink. Broad and interesting on the nose. Very substantial weight – dry finish and tastes very much like a food wine. No sweetness obvious. Tightly laced and complex. Seems more obviously fruity than the Blanc de Blancs 1995 with some lovely tertiary aromas. Very long and lovely but the recent disgorgement may have played an important part. Quite intellectual and demanding. (JR)
