Wrong yearThanks to @Geoff Franz for the pull. Lean and structured at the moment. Needs serious time. — 10 days ago
Black cherry and plum tart emerging through aromas of violets dotting brown breads, shiitake and black oak. Cinnamon, cedar and clove coalesce. Raspberry reduction with currants. Hints of mints. Tart cherry palate brings cherry reduction and black currants, tons of dark cedar wrapped cigar, tart blackberry, peppercorn and cinnamon stick. Green notes suggest this is still young and half-blossomed despite the quarter century. Grainy tannins, though rounded.

(Disg. 5/21) Initial is the most produced in quantity of the Selosse bottlings but it is not to be overlooked, and 2021 disgorgment is electric today with distinctive Selossien aromas of caramelized orchard fruit, roasted nuts, honeycomb and gun smoke. The palate is rich, powerful and deep with racy acids and a chalky mineral core. It has both freshness and oxidative complexity yielding a complete, balanced and utterly seamless Champagne. The best ☺️ — 24 days ago

Delicious and just starting to be drinkable. Lovely opulent fruit and a spine of gorgeous acidity. A touch of sweetness. Great, with loads of life ahead — 11 days ago
