Taken to Canoe House at the Mauna Lani on the Big Island. Awesome aged Raveneau nose. Rich and heavy in the mouth. Notes of citrus, apricot, sea shells, white clay and tan spice. In the zone. Shared a glass with our server/somm. When the bill came, “we have a strict corkage policy but it’s waived when it’s Raveneau “. Ha! — 2 years ago

Changing it up with some Napa Cab! 91 HM is totally in the zone with stunning depth of aromatics and pure velvet on the palate. There is an incredible balance of fruit and secondary character. Fantastic. — 3 years ago

Enjoyed another bottle more in 2022, maybe not aging well in the closet ($37), but still very nice with Pat’s grilled steak. Dense, full bodied and a bit of sediment. — 4 months ago

2014 vintage. Big graphite and iron nose. Intense and muscular. Medium-bodied. Complimentary fruit cradled by ridiculous tannins. Grippy and rambunctious. JC Superstar. Till 2048 at least. Not even close to entering “the zone” but so much promise once the tumblers fall into place. 10.21.23. — a year ago

9.0

Blend of 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 37% Merlot and 1% Cabernet Franc, deep Ruby with aromas of dark berry fruits and notes of herb spice and earthy notes. On the palate flavors of black cherry and blackberry with tobacco, dried herbs and cacao notes. Long finish, fine tannins, nice acidity, ending with fruit, tobacco, oak and cacao notes. — 3 years ago

Always say around 5 years post disgorgement is the happy zone for Selosse. This beauty, disgorged in July of 2018 with the coveted 2008 being its youngest vintage, was an absolute stunner. Substance is the Selosse flagship that uses a solera style blend with vintages dating all the way back to 1986. It has explosive aromatics that you really don’t get from Champagne. It’s infinitely layered with crazy depth to its aromatics and has such a singular texture that you just can’t forget. Caramelized orchard fruit, roasted hazelnuts, coffee beans and lavender honey waft from the glass. It wraps around the palate with incredible volume and intensity before giving way to a salty mineral laced finale with stunning length and persistence. The best. — 2 years ago
