Tarlant Brut Nature Rosé Champagne l'Aérienne 2004

94 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "[$150 list] Tarlant’s 2004 Brut Nature Rosé L’Arienne offers striking complexity and nuance, with pretty dried rose petal, dried cherry, mint, star anise and cinnamon. At fifteen years of age, the 2004 shows the layers of flavor that are typical of Roses with bottle age, and yet it retains terrific freshness and energy. L’Arienne is built on a Chardonnay base, with dollops of still red Pinot. Drink: 2019-2026. (Jul 2019)"

94 points James Suckling: "Fresh strawberries, red-apple pie, peach pit, stony nuances, brioche and creme brulee. Full-bodied with good tension and an excellent balance of fruit and acidity. The light cream undertones are very well complemented by the driven finish. Drink now. (9/2/19)"
