92 Points | International Wine Cellar , November/December 2005
($88) Vivid medium pink color Raspberry, strawberry preserves and a subtle blood orange quality on the nose, along with fresh bay and earthy sassafras. A medium-bodied rose with nicely concentrated red berry, cherry and Asian spice flavors. Finishes silky and long, with the raspberry tone joined by a note of sweet cocoa. Really suave, sexy and lush Champagne, showing both power and balance.

I tasted this wine with Christian Pol-Roger in Epernay shortly before his retirement. This was a wonderful Rose offering. M. Pol-Roger said Rose should not be over the top, but have "frivolity." I don't know what frivolity tastes likes, but I was certainly happy. Champagne lovers should not miss the 1996 Pol Roger Cuvee Winston Churchill, which is the best vintage I've tasted going back to 1985.
