Light cooper with some yellow. Delicate yet energetic nose displaying subtle red fruit, strawberry water, cherry, granny smith, light caramel, cooper, spicy spices and limestone. Beautifully integrated harmonious palate, finely layer subtle red fruit, exceptional precision, freshness and focus, fine generous mousse, bright acidity and strong mineral, and a long subtle red fruit driven finish with cooper and limestone at the end. The finish is very dry. Perhaps expressing the 08 vintage, very focused and precise.

Perfectly mature incredibly complex nose displaying rich yellow fruit, cinnamon apple, marzipan, anise, light caramel, butterscotch, oyster shell and limestone. Excellent concentration, layers upon layers of rich sweet yellow fruit, opulent and complex, bright acidity and strong limestone mineral, and a long sweet yellow fruit driven finish with marzipan and limestone at the end. Absolutely gorgeous showing. As usual with Selosse, fully ready upon release and no need to wait.

Incredibly youthful and energetic nose displaying concentration yellow fruit with a hint of white. Lemon curd, lemon, granny smith, light caramel, smoke, spicy spices and limestone. Exceptional concentration, layers upon layers of concentrated yellow fruit, very precise, focused and detailed, very fine abundant mousse, bright acidity and strong limestone mineral, and a long concentrated yellow fruit driven finish with spicy spices and limestone at the end. Although very young, it is drinking incredibly well, kinda champagne that rejuvenates your spirit.

Expressive extremely youthful nose displaying incredibly concentrated yellow and white fruit, white peach, a hint of pineapple, fresh lemon juice, beeswax, spicy spices, white flowers and crushed rock. Unbelievable concentration, layers upon layers of perfectly ripe sweet yellow fruit, rich and dense, an incredible amount of extract, medium acidity, strong limestone mineral and a long concentrated slightly coiled yellow fruit driven finish with beeswax and limestone at the end. There is a hint of alcohol at the end. This clearly expresses the 05 ripeness. This is a powerful concentrated wine, a bit closer to Batard than Chavalier.

This has come together beautifully. Expressive nose displaying perfectly ripe yellow fruit, yellow and white peach, fresh lemon, a hint of apricot, sweet spices and mineral. Exceptional concentration, beautifully layers opulent yellow fruit, rich and opulent but also perfectly precise, harmonious and weightless, medium acidity, strong mineral, and a long rich yellow fruit drive finish. It is now showing GC like balance and finesse. Drinking magnificently.

Not premoxed but a bit awkward. Not terribly expressive nose, granny smith, pyrazine, honey, spicy spices and a hint of limestone. Good concentration, packed slightly coiled yellow fruit, medium acidity and mineral, and a medium long finish with pyrazine and honey at the end. Adam mentions that the bottle from three night ago was better. Not the wine that I would seek based on bottle variations.

Expressive nose displaying perfectly ripe white and yellow fruit, pear, apple, lemon. a hint of lanoline, light caramel, white flowers and limestone. Beautifully integrated palate, very finely layered yellow and white fruit, rich yet silky and weightless, perfect balance and precision, medium acidity, strong mineral and a seamless long yellow fruit driven finish with lanoline and light crème brulee at the end. This particular bottle is a textbook example of Chavalier Montrachet, the palate to die for, very noble.

Correct color. Not premoxed but terribly muted. Avoid!

En magnum. Expressive complex nose displaying unbelievably concentration red and black fruit, dry cherry, sour cherry, blackberry, fruitcake, rose, tar, licorice, strong cedar, caramel, sweet spices and iron mineral. Exceptional concentration, layers upon layers of intense slightly dry red fruit, opulent and unctuous yet also silky and polished, also warm and round, bright acidity, strong iron mineral, still noticeable but non-obtrusive tannins and a long concentrated red fruit driven finish with tar and cedar at the end. Drinking beautifully but remains remarkably young. This has to be the most imposing Giacosa. A long life ahead.

Perfectly integrated harmonious palate, very finely layered ripe red fruit, rich yet silky and weightless, perfect amount of acidity and mineral, still noticeable tannins and the finish that never ends. Although the 90 ripe fruit expression is quite evident, it remains beautiful balanced, precise and detailed. Drinking perfectly.

Unbelievably youthful nose displaying massive black fruit, blackberry, black cherry, fruitcake, strong licorice and tar, molasses, mint, dark spices and iron. Incredible concentration, layers upon layers of concentrated slightly dry black fruit, dense and unctuous but also silky and fluid, bright acidity and strong iron mineral, still very noticeable tannins and the never ending finish. The 90 Monfortino remains incredibly young and can improve/mature for at least a couple more decades.

Brett dominates, initially thinking corked but perhaps too much Brett.
