  Rich and powerful yet serene and balanced in the mouth, long finish that never ends, thankfully. Energetic, fine bubbles. Krug clos du mesnil 1990, one that actually showed well versus 3 that showed tired and lack-bubble, comes close. My suspicion is that Krug tend to trade hands like DRC and opening a good bottle is less than even chance. Selosse's secondary market trading has just started with recent meteoric rise in price so I'd say drink the bottles that are available now. Can age further but it's hard to imagine a bottle that drinks better than this.

  Very much in the bread, oxidative and ripe style that I don't particularly favor yet really well executed with fine bubbles, tension and remarkable length.

  Very expensive but this is worth the money. Deep golden color with a long, Sauternes like finish. This is amazing

  Christie's Wine Dinner: A Journey Through the Vinkällare of Staffan Hansson (RPM Steak - Chicago IL): Served alongside the 1988. More concentration than the older vintage, but still with enough structure and great balance. Very ripe fruit and great weight and power. Also bready and slightly oxidative, but very enjoyable indeed.

  24-Hour Tampa Blitzkrieg; 2/27/2016-2/28/2016: Supremely fresh. Egg whites. Probably the driest champagne ever tasted. Sulphur. Mousse is unreal: light and airy with fine effervescence throughout. Something quite musty hanging in the background. Almost as strong as the '85 Clos de Mesnil opened alongside. Truly special.
