2012 Billecart-Salmon Champagne Cuvee Elisabeth Salmon 750ml

Reviews: 97 points Wine Advocate, "A blend of 45% Pinot Noir and 55% Chardonnay, the 2012 Brut Rose Cuvee Elisabeth Salmon is a real success, wafting from the glass with aromas of red berries, rose, peony, orange blood and dried flowers. Medium to full-bodied, vinous and broad, it's dense and deep with a multidimensional core of fruit, racy acids and a textural structure, concluding with a long, delicate, mouthwatering finish. This is one of the finest rose I've tasted at this address. Kudos! (YC)" 96 points Vinous, "...offers up hints of red berry fruit, ginger, spice, rosewater, mint and crushed flowers. There is a feeling of classic austerity that runs through the 2012. I would prefer to cellar this for at least a few years, as it is quite reticent at this stage. Chalk, mint, white pepper and bright saline accents linger on the pointed finish. (AG)"
