Gyllengul i färgen. Till en början ganska sluten. Men efterhand öppnade den upp sig både arom- och texturmässigt. I doften mogna äpplen, gula plommon, aprikos, mogen mörk citrus, rök, nötter, brödighet, kryddig, ingefära, honung, fick nästan Sauternvibbar i doften. Komplex och lager på lagerkänsla. I munnen balanserad, väldigt vinös, koncentrerad, kraftfull men elegant, tjock krämig textur och den här komplexa midpalaten där vinet visar upp sin energi, tar sats och skjuter iväg i en jäkla smakupplevelse och landar i en enormt lång finish.
Vi sparade varsitt glas till efter middagen för att se hur det utvecklade sig och det hade öppnat upp sig rejält efter den tiden. Lite mer nötiga, oxidativa toner och just hur det beter sig i munnen och i finishen var inte helt olikt hur Selosse Millesime 1998an betedde sig

Opened for our daughter's 20th birthday diner and it was sublime! The color was exceptionally beautiful of fading orange, transparent and poetic hue orange/pink. On the nose such an incredible balance of fruits and flowers but enhancing each other with some smokey, and amberish aromas and on the palate this was surreally subtle and yet intense. Probably the subtlest flavor of fading and transparent orange, Khaki, white peach and flowers and surprisingly none of the nutty profile that I had expected wrongly. Incredibly subtle and yet my wife and our daughter thought it was super intense within the subtlety... magical indeed. As the 2nd and a bit of 3 glasses was being served quite a bit of strawberry, again in the transparent manner, surfaced to everyone's ecstasy. It was just three of us for this bottle and I will remember this for a long time. Vines from pre Phylloxera era. Cheers,

Similar notes to prior bottles. Big and rich. Pleasurable but lacking a bit of energy and precision.
