2008 Piper-Heidsieck Rare Rose98 Points Jeb Dunnuck: The 2008 Champagne Rare Ros is straight up sensational. Only the second time theyve produced this cuve, it offers a deep, full bodied, powerful yet chiseled and laser focused style carrying loads of wild strawberry fruit as well as notes of orange blossom, spice, and crushed rocks. Backward, austere, yet simply loaded with potential, it needs a solid 4 5 years of bottle age and will drink brilliantly for two decades or more.
