April 25, 2010 - TN: Selbach, Cotat, Belliviere, Breton, Brainaire, Usseglio, de Malle: I wish I had bought more of this back in the day. The cork was popped about 6 hours in advance and the wine just decanted prior to serving. Ruby in color with some purple hues. The nose was great. Funk, cassis, cherries, spice and leather. Really deep. On the palate, this is complex. Not mind boggling, but intellectually stimulating as well as delicious. Went great with the food but sipped well on its own. Layers of cassis, earth and spice. Long finish. Its an old cliche, but this is why you cellar wine.
