Roederer 2008 Vintage

Antonio Galloni vinous.com 93 in 2014-11 The 2008 brut races across the palate with gorgeous depth and resonance. Dried pear, spice, mint anise and wild flowers meld together in the glass. Broad, ample and voluptuous, the 2008 possesses fabulous richness in all dimensions. Beams of acidity and minerality give the 2009 much of its energy and freshness, but the style is all about pure texture. 

Richard Juhlin champagneclub.com 94 (89) in 2021-09 Oh how expensive it has become, but so insanely good that the wine must still qualify as affordable. It would be a great shame if you open this wine too quickly out of sheer curiosity. Here is certainly an extremely impressive crystal clear, excuse the metaphor, purity that sparkles like the purest diamond or, excuse again, rock crystal. It is of course not a crime that already meet the sublime purity. Nor is it a crime to become seduced by the seamless texture with the incipient creaminess or clarity of the fruit topped with white chocolate. Still, it is well worth waiting for to become as grand as the legendary 2002.
