    April 14, 2024 - crazy interesting nose. I pegged this as a Selosse, which stylistically was in line with what I expected. Best with food, which in our case that day, was caviar. Lol.

    April 14, 2024 - Eyes Wide Shut - Day 2 (A quiet place): Nose: Sweet oxidation, graham crackers with a bale of wet hay and earth.

    Palate: This was a bit flat but had good fruits of ripe, aged orange slices, with its stem and leaves. Gently bitter orange skins that seem to give off the impression of dried stones.

    April 13, 2024 - dég. 11 Mai 2021

    Christmas spice central. Immense depth down through layers of cardamom, molasses, and ginger, all outlined in lovely stewed apple oxidation. Compared with a one-year-older-in-bottle Initial consumed a few nights previous, that wine amplifies the purely mineral, while this blossoms into a notably richer expression.

    April 6, 2024 - Nose: hazelnut, honey, white flowers, red dates, dried fig, pear,
    Notes: Disgogrged 2023 April. 0.67g/L dosage. The usual Jacques Selosse oxidative style with plenty of warm aroma such as honey, hazelnut and red dates. An amazing and explosive nose this may be one of the best non rose Jacques Selosse I've had. A little different from my previous experience with the V.O.. The afteraste is perfect and it's absolutely beautiful. The flowers are so pretty for this Champagne and this is an astonishing experience.

    April 5, 2024 - Method: tasted at the domaine (in the cellar) with Anselme; vintages '17, '16, and '15; disg. Oct. 2023

    Nose: nuts (but less nutty than Initial), salinity

    Palate: lemon, lemon pitch, nuts, nut cream; long finish of nut, mineral; medium+ body; medium strength pinpoint bubbles; medium+ to high- acidity; low tannin

    Overall thoughts: Very cool to have side-by-side with Initial. I completely agree with Anselme that this is more introverted whereas Initial is more extroverted. More structured, tightly wound, and mineral than the Initial. Great complexity and structure. Great wine.
