"Already gorgeously aromatically expressive, playing notes of delicate raspberry leaf and rose petals alongside exotic orange and grapefruit rind. There's an inherent freshness here, long cascading lines of acidity banked by uplifting minty notes. What a sexy wine, one that teases sweetness against bitter fruit skin, like biting voraciously into a plump succulent cherry and savoring its fleeting, electrifying impact. I love the toothsome, tasty fruit profile. The blend is 62% from the 2016 vintage, with 38% of reserve wines dating back to 2010, and 10% of Pinot Noir red wine, made up of 32 separately vinified wines from six different years. (Drink between 2024-2050)" -Decanter, 97DE
"The NV Krug Rosé 282eme Edition is terrific. A rich, substantial sparkling, the Rosé possesses notable textural depth and substance. Hints of orange peel, cinnamon, dried rose petals and sweet red cherry fruit are all laced together in a creamy, beautifully resonant Champagne. Some previous editions have been more linear, but the 28eme feels richer, with a greater role given to the Pinot Noir, with important contributions from base wines from Mareuil-sur-Ay and Les Riceys. Time in the glass brings out gorgeous focus to pull it all together. Readers will find an extremely versatile Rosé that will provide immense pleasure, both on its own or at the dinner table. (Drink between 2024-2033)". -Antonio Galloni, 95VM
