Excellent excellent. Decanted for two hours before being consumed and then enjoyed over next 3+. Weighty and very heady. Dark rich fruit aged but not dusty. I feel this wine is in the zone. — 5 months ago

2014 vintage. Big graphite and iron nose. Intense and muscular. Medium-bodied. Complimentary fruit cradled by ridiculous tannins. Grippy and rambunctious. JC Superstar. Till 2048 at least. Not even close to entering “the zone” but so much promise once the tumblers fall into place. 10.21.23. — 2 years ago

Taken to Canoe House at the Mauna Lani on the Big Island. Awesome aged Raveneau nose. Rich and heavy in the mouth. Notes of citrus, apricot, sea shells, white clay and tan spice. In the zone. Shared a glass with our server/somm. When the bill came, “we have a strict corkage policy but it’s waived when it’s Raveneau “. Ha! — 3 years ago

Mid 20th century fashionable country resort, popular with Hollywood due to 1892 stone Manor House & historic gardens. Blend of Cab Sauv, Merlot, Malbec, rest other Rhone varieties, aged 20 months in 37% new French oak. Dark Ruby, aromas of ripe berry fruits, herbs & spice. On the palate flavors of cherry and black currant with vanilla oak and earthy notes. Well balanced, fine tannins long finish ending with fruit, espresso notes and sweet spice! Nice now and will drink well over next decade. — 7 months ago

Preferred the Readers 2019, but we didn’t decant this bottle and probably should have ($37). — 2 years ago

Always say around 5 years post disgorgement is the happy zone for Selosse. This beauty, disgorged in July of 2018 with the coveted 2008 being its youngest vintage, was an absolute stunner. Substance is the Selosse flagship that uses a solera style blend with vintages dating all the way back to 1986. It has explosive aromatics that you really don’t get from Champagne. It’s infinitely layered with crazy depth to its aromatics and has such a singular texture that you just can’t forget. Caramelized orchard fruit, roasted hazelnuts, coffee beans and lavender honey waft from the glass. It wraps around the palate with incredible volume and intensity before giving way to a salty mineral laced finale with stunning length and persistence. The best. — 3 years ago

1997 vintage. Still dark as all get out. A quarter century has thinned out the massive body to medium body but the unified nose/flavors are full of chaparral/scrub, cassis, baking chocolate, gravelly dirt and blackberry reduction. Tasted approximately two hours after decanting. Miles to go before this one sleeps. In the zone now and likely so for another decade before any noticeable drop off in this old school Dunn experience. — 3 years ago
