4/24/2024 - Zunga wrote: 92 pointsBrought this to a Cal Club wine dinner and tasted blind with 6 others. Bested all the whites including a Lafon which was grea. This is heady stuff and showed why it’s one of absolute favorite wines. |

4/20/2024 - Zunga Likes this wine: 93 pointsExquisite wine that was ethereal. It was precise and minerals driven, but still filled everyone with pleasure. It’s a wine of emotion which actually made one taster laugh with glee. |

2/15/2024 - Zunga wrote: 100 pointsI just love Selosse. This was a 2014 disgorgement and therefore was dark in color. That being said, it didn’t miss a beat and was a wonderful example of this “entry level” Selosse if you can even say that! I’d love to buy more, but they now cost 3 to 4 times what they did 8 years ago. 3 people found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (1) |

2012 Jacques-Frédéric Mugnier Chambolle-MusignyPinot Noir more |
2/2/2024 - Zunga wrote: 97 pointsIt may have been the fact the restaurant decanted the bottle without asking, but it wasn’t as good as I would have hoped. Certainly not bad, but I did have hire aspersions for it which were not delivered. A solid village wine that I was hoping would punch above its weight with its pedigree. |

NV Jacques Selosse Champagne Grand Cru Lieux-dits Extra Brut Ay La Côte FaronPinot Noir more |
2/2/2024 - Zunga Likes this wine: 97 pointsDrank it at Republique with Lisa, David U and Nancy. The only way I can describe it is extraordinary. I wish there were more that I could say, but I was so blown away by this particular wine from the first sip. It’s why Selosse is Selosse. It was Blanc de Noir firing on extra cylinders. I’m still thinking about it today, the day after. I’m going to go to my cellar in a few days and pull a few more bottles of this. I’ve gotta have it again soon. |

12/8/2023 - Zunga Likes this wine: 91 pointsI think I was expecting more, but certainly liked it. Maybe it was the lack of freshness that hit me. Lemon and apple on the palate with an effervescence that disappeared quickly. |

1964 Giacomo Borgogno & Figli Barolo RiservaNebbiolo more |
12/8/2023 - Zunga Likes this wine: 92 pointsLovely showing from this grand old King at 59! Drank with friends at Mother Wolf and the wine was as good as I could have expected. Certainly the tannins were resolved, but there was still wonderful light red fruit that caressed your mouth. The bottle just went too fast. Wish I had more, but glad I drank it in all of its glory |

11/23/2023 - Zunga Likes this wine: 93 pointsJust plain exceptional. Love this wine. Bummer it’s harder to get and more expensive. This is a real crowd pleaser. Light lime and pear in the palate. So balanced. |

7/8/2023 - Zunga Likes this wine: 95 pointsWhat a showing! Disgorged in 2014 and I’ve had since 2016. It was everything I hoped for. The palate was savory and bursting with grilled apricot. Just the right amount of acidity and oxidation. Loved it! It’s why Selosse is Selosse! |
