Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, May 1, 2019 - Geynale study (Chicago, IL): Disgorged November 5, 2008. This is the oxidative Selosse that I know and love. The nose shows a hint of oak spice, lots of browned apples, some nuttiness, and seems to imply something that will have a bit of a saline character on the palate. And it does! These older disgorgements can be hit or miss for me sometimes (believe it or not, they can get too oxidative), but this bottle did not. Like many of the older Selosse wines I've had, this seemed to pick up steam with air -- showing a little brighter, and the fruit less browned. Nonetheless, quite a bit of oak and browned fruit here, but wrapped up with plenty of acidity and overall concentration and a nice dose of chalk as well.
