Hillside Select is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon and aged 32 months in 100% new 60-gallon French oak barrels. Deep Ruby with pronounced aromas of red/black fruits, with hints of cedar, floral, oak, herbs & spice. On the palate flavors of concentrated ripe blackberry, cherry and raspberry preserves, pepper spice, leather and earthy cacao. Fine savory tannins, well balanced, long finish, great structure ending with fruit, spice, oak and earthy mineral character. Outstanding! — 3 years 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

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

Right Bank Blend of Merlot (68%), Cabernet Sauvignon (32%) and Petite Verdot (6%). Bright aromas of blue/black berries, violets, tar and cedar. The palate is full of black and blue fruit with hints of chocolate, baking spices, orange peel, menthol, graphite and dried herbs. Medium/plus body and chalky tannins. Vibrant and elegant. The softness of the Merlot shines through. Thanks to Alex L. For sharing this bottle. — 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

Give Sequel some time and it will sing for you. This one was right in the zone - beautiful dark blue/black fruit, a little earth. Concentrated stuff. — 4 years ago
