Typical Selossse super complex nose . The oxidative notes there but in check, at least for me. The palate is more full than nuanced but not out of hand because of good acidity. Apricots, apples mixed in with citrus and nuts. Lingers on the tongue.

Dark gold in color. Intense and pretty. Sherry notes, corn, apricot, orange, toast. Almost tangy with good acidity

1999. Decanted this time and the nose expands to really wide after 2 hrs in glass. Mostly walnut n hay, oxidized nose which is same as last time. Short finish. Only for nut nose lover n selosse has better offer. Skim.

They texted me because this was open in the cellar. Like I had a choice but to drop by. Nougaty goodness

A super rare bird. Rich, voluptuous and intense, with fabulous texture and length.

Pre moxed. Yes I know 99 was a hot year. This is too far developed. Way too far developed. Palate wasvibrant though. Color was deep and honeyed
