Community Tasting Note

Christoffer78 Likes this wine:

Sunday, August 3, 2014 - Astonishing. Rich, creamy, luxurious and with some air the classical oxidized tones and the signature of this producer emerge. This is one of the better Initials I have tasted as it offers a multi-faceted experience with a crisp, clear and razor sharp first impression, almost like an aged Comtes. But with some air and time in the glass the baked red apples, citrus zest and sweet brioche emerges and makes this "totally Selosse". It is a marvelous wine. Maybe not something for the faint hearted Champagne lover, but certainly for the rest of us. The palate is perfectly balanced and has a lovely structure. It is 100 % ready for drinking now and it offered one of those wine moments we seldomly experience: the perfect food and wine pairing. When combined to a creamy lobster salad a third taste emerged - a lovely creamy sensation of butterscotch(!) and creamy fudge. It is certainly an understatement that Selosse makes very food friendly wines, but this bottle was pure proof of it. (disgorged late 2010) (score is 93+)
