James Suckling: 99 Points
This is a super Champagne with roses, strawberries and orange peel on the nose but then it's medium-boded with a raciness and beauty. Drink or hold.
Wine Spectator: 97 Points
An impeccably balanced and graceful sparkling rosé, with a plushly creamy mousse. It's hard to tell where the firm spine of well-honed acidity and the expressive range of pureed raspberry, candied ginger, tangerine and lemon thyme flavors begin or end. A rich hint of smoky toasted brioche plays on the finish. Drink now through 2033. (Highly Recommended)
Wine Advocate: 97 Points
The 2008 Dom Pérignon Rosé continues to drink brilliantly, exhibiting aromas of orange, red berries, pear, pastry, spices and some smoke with time in the glass. Full-bodied, charming, broad and fleshy, with pristine balance, it’s a seamless, complete and vinous Champagne of compelling purity and maturity.
Vinous: 97 Points
The 2008 Dom Pérignon Rosé is laced with crushed red berry fruit, orange peel, mint, rose petal and dried herbs. The 2008 has started to fill out, such that it is less austere than in the past, but the driving contours of this cold year are evident. Clean bracing notes support the persistent finish.

Cool ruby hue that isn't deep though perhaps just a bit deeper than a typical oeil de perdrix shade. An exuberantly fresh and bright nose speaks freely of various red fruits along with plenty of citrus, quinine and a pretty floral hint while the yeast influence is relatively subdued, at least for now. There is fine volume to the solidly concentrated flavors that are supported by a very fine yet quite fine effervescence that imparts both fine delineation as well as a certain power that seems to build from the mid-palate to the explosive finish. This is superb and only getting better each time I am privileged to enjoy it. As to maturity, while it's sufficiently far along that it's no vinous crime to open one, I would suggest waiting until around 2028 or so before digging in seriously.
