9.1

Nice minerality, subdued lemon, a hint of oyster like salinity and more body than you’d expect from a Muscadet. — 2 years ago

9.3

Light straw; smokey nose that suggests an impactful palate to follow; this is very mineral and masculine somehow. The chalky minerality is all I remember, that, and today this upstaged the 2015 Special Club. Base is 2019.

9.2

Spectacular expression of northern Syrah. Inky but approachable. Smaller tannins. Lots of youth but excellent to share now. — 2 years ago

9.2

For its relatively young age already ripe and evolved with a strong oaky backbone. Good wine for a book and a fireplace. — 5 months ago

Conrad Green

9.1

Very big and rich. A slightly active shrill thing on the nose. Very rich plum and cherry. Roses and violets. A beast but rounded and under control. A bit much for my taste but it has some balance and purity that is admirable — 6 months ago

9.5

Along with the majestic 2010 one of my favorite Stella vintages. So giving right off the bat, never any heat, just so fresh and clean. Amazing expression of Sangiovese. — 2 years ago
