Charles Heidsieck Rosé Millésime 2008 (750mL) Online Hot Sale

Description
The 2008 rosé will always hold a special place in the Charles Heidsieck range of vintage rosés, with an exceptional longevity taking it to culmination in the second half of the 21st century. The quality will naturally prevail at earlier tastings as proof of the adage Great wines are always good, but the time to open them is another question.
TO THE EYE: A sublime soft pink robe.
ON THE NOSE: The initial nose is saline and mineral, underlined by a hint of toast and smoke. Notes of citrus, pink grapefruit, blood orange and red current gradually follow. A discreet fruitiness with more intense notes will be unveiled with time: Morello cherries, liquorice and black tea.
ON THE PALATE: The exuberant mouthfeel is cubic with the typical vivacity of the vintage. The finish is long and creamy, with extremely delicate effervescence at the very end. It is paradoxical to find a wine of such great freshness paired with a structure of such restrained power.
