  Wish I would have popped this 5 years ago. Slightly darkened but not sherried/oxidized. Fruit has faded.

  Nice balance, slightly "port" like in sweetness due to its age, but not overwhelmingly so.

  Served with cheese - and what a good match. Intense, concentrated fruit, razorblade citrus notes, great minerality and extraordinary precision; great length, great balance, and a very good choice to serve this at the end of the meal. Châpeau!

  Un vin de 24 ans qui libère une belle prise de mousse sitôt le muselet et bouchon enlevés.
  En bouche, le vin affiche un “esprit Selosse” dans le style d’une réserve perpétuelle ou Solera, avec des arômes de truffes blanches, de sotolon (noix, curry) mais aussi agrumes (citron), brioche et de minéralité avec craie. Avec l’aération le bulles finissent par disparaître dans le verre, alors le vin s’affiche comme un grand vin de table tout simplement. Un bel accord avec une poularde avec morilles.
  On en dégusterait jusqu’au bout de la nuit 98/100

  Well, this is clearly over the top, or it is again an example of champagnes with too much air so that they oxidize too early. Deep yellow, almost amber in colour. Extreme nose of nuts, sherry-like tones, toasted bread, almost on the "gone" side. Still fresh in the mouth. creamy mousse, tannic feel to the finish. Not much fruit except for some very old red apples. Mostly nuts and sherry. A disappointment.
