Pol Roger Brut Rosé Champagne 2012

94+ points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "Remembering the rather reserved phase in which I had found Pol Roger's 2012 Brut Rosé when I reviewed it in August, I pulled a bottle from my cellar to check in on its evolution. A few months have made a difference, and the wine is more expressive already, wafting from the glass with a lovely bouquet of plums, red berries, blood orange and toasted brioche. On the palate, it's full-bodied, muscular and vinous, with terrific depth and structure at the core, its ripe but racy acids balanced by considerable texture and concentration. While this remains youthfully tight-knit, I'm inclined to think I was very conservative regarding its ultimate potential. Drink: 2022-2042. (Apr 2020)"

94 points Wine Spectator: "Ripe cherry, pomegranate and blood orange sorbet flavors are well-knit to sleek, lightly mouthwatering acidity in this elegant rosé Champagne, with a subtle plushness to the fine mousse. Long and minerally on the finish, echoing more fruit and spice details. Drink now through 2029. 300 cases imported. (12/15/19)"

93 points Decanter: "This rosé from Pol Roger is absolutely brilliant. The bouquet is appealing and fragrant, with energetic freshness and stunning strawberry, raspberry and spice notes. The palate possesses a vinous texture and well-grained tannins. Perfect for food. (Nov 2019)"

93 points Wine Enthusiast: "[$126 list] With this rosé, the vintage is showing maturity and the toastiness of this rich wine is now just at the right point. Fruit and acidity are in the background, lending a crisp edge to a wine that is delicious now. (Dec 2019)"
