Wine Spectator
A vibrant, enticing rosé, with rich aromas and flavors of poached apricot, grilled nut, white cherry, saffron and anise, all set in a seamless frame. This is racy and intense, yet rides the palate, showing a plush and creamy elegance. Hints of coffee liqueur, candied orange and clover honey accent the lingering finish. *Highly Recommended* (AN)

Wine Enthusiast
An impressively fresh wine, this is the 22nd rosé blending from this producer. It has acidity, crispness and bright red-currant fruits. Maturity is only just beginning, hinting at nuts and toastiness. All this suggests that the bottling could age... (RV)

I had not tasted a bottle of the Krug Rosé '22ème Édition' is a year or so and was really happy to cross paths with one shortly after tasting the newest release, number 23, as it gave the possibility of putting the new release in its historical context. The 22ème Édition is a very classical and refined example of this lovely cuvée, offering a deep and complex bouquet of tangerine, white cherry, gentle spice tones, orange peel, a gorgeous base of soil tones, dried rose petals and a discreetly smoky topnote. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied, focused and shows off excellent mid-palate depth, with very refined mousse, excellent bounce and grip and a very long, complex and seamlessly balanced, vibrant finish. This is great wine, and though there is not much difference qualitatively between the two most recent editions of Krug Rosé, stylistically, I have a slight preference for the 22ème Édition.

K&L Notes
This blend of vintages is perhaps the most consistently great pink wine in the world. Effortless, subtle, and elegant, this is not a bottle of wine that is ever flashy or showy. Every time I have had it seems to just vanish without refilling the flutes. The refined strawberry notes and haunting Pinot Noir fruit always seem to take a back seat to the company and the conversation when I have drunk it, but the memory of each experience is as vivid as yesterday. Every lover of the good things in life should try this masterpiece at least once. It is the ultimate rosé! (Gary Westby, K&L Champagne Buyer)
