  • 25 years on maybe waiting that long was a bad idea. 10 years ago these were a lot better.

  • One of the few true bargains in the world of older wines. A wine with 20+ years that has this much freshness, nuanced fruit and life to it, and all for the price of something you might randomly pull out of the cellar without thinking twice? Yes please!

  • Bottle #4 of 7. Stupendous. Again. This is coming near the end of its life, as the last bit of bottle showed some dulling decline the second night. Time to drink these up. A marvelous bottle. The best ever Muscadet for me and the wife. Beautiful green sheen to the bright yellow color. Classic lemon and sea breeze on a foundation of blazing acidity. Very long finish, medium mid-palate.

  • MuscaDay 2015: Briny, focused, bright, tons of sour lemon, sea breeze, crusty jetty rocks. Creamy notes, slight honey, still plenty of life ahead. Tied with the 2002 for my favorite.

  • Brilliant. Most likely the best Muscadet ever for us. Blazing, razor sharp acidity frames green (not unripe, but deep and vegetal, like a Gruner), lemony, and distinctly saline, almost musky, shellfish-laden fruit, with a powerful finish. I'm smelling this right now, at the 1.5 hour mark and it smells like a barrel of shelled oysters. No sh*t. (Salmon tonight, no oysters). Musky, dank, bright, oceanic, laden with nuance, and stinkingly delicious. My first ever oyster juice wine, and I'm not kidding, try it. And, to top it all off, this seems like it will last another decade, as there's a jolly rancher note here that denotes adolescence. Awesome! Bottle #3 of 6. 94pts pure quality, 96pts personal preference.
