Wine Spectator: 92 Points
A smoky base note of roast hazelnut underscores this modest rosé, and the tightly knit bead carries hints of strawberry pâte de fruits and candied pink grapefruit zest. Firm finish. Drink now.

Robert Parker:
Disgorged in April 2018 with eight grams per liter dosage, the NV Brut Rosé Réserve was showing well, opening in the glass with aromas of toasted gingerbread, small red berries and dried white flowers. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, with ripe but racy acids, a delicate core of fruit and a sapid, gently phenolic finish. Readers are advised to consult the lot numbers on Palmer's back labels and try to give the wines at least a year from the date of disgorgement before opening, as it really does bear dividends.

Jeb Dunnuck:
Palmer Rosé Reserve is a champagne with a charmingly distinctive character. This unique blend is enriched with a proportion of red wine from a Solera of over 35 years and the excellent vinification has resulted in an outstanding fruity rosé champagne. The intense nose is dominated by the energising aroma of wild strawberries with tantalising light notes of red and black currants in the background, overlaying very delicate notes of vanilla and cinnamon spice. Fresh and full-bodied on the palate, it is drawn out in finely tannic, succulent bubbles in the same register of fruity elegance.
