Veuve Clicquot Rosé Reserve 1985

Champagne, FranceNow at the end of its run the VC Rose '85 proves beyond a doubt this wine, if stored well will repay the owner for many years. Disgorged in the normal course of events back in early 1990s it remains full flavoured with savoury, meaty notes and just a touch of fading black fruit. Made with 15 percent red wine which may explain its lasting power. A treasure at this point and the perfect foil to poached lobster with basmati rice.Tasted: 26 December 2003Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
