I thought it would be fitting to pop this as it was harvested Oct 17 2017, exactly 9 years ago. Still very fresh strawberry compote, fresh and dried roses, fresh porcini, tar on the nose. Excellent acidity, depth, silky tannins on the palate; confirming everything on the nose. Great length. Fantastic wine, possibly at its apex if you like a balance between fruit and earth. — 15 days ago

1hr+ decant. Youthful. Lovely dark red color. Classic Gargiulo flavor with ample depth. Definitely needs a long decant. — a month ago

I had a couple of these bottles pre-Covid - fall 2019? It was my introduction to Stella di Campalto. They were fantastic young and you could see where they were headed. I bought six of the 750s and a couple of 1.5L. This is the first one I’ve opened. This Rosso would hold its own against almost any Brunello from the 2015 vintage, which makes sense, since they just take a barrel of the Brunello and declassify it and release it as a Rosso one year early. Delicious cherry, light on its feet, and very pretty florals on the nose. Give it time it open or a quick decant, which I did not this time. Great with steak, but also contemplative on its own. — 2 months ago

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. — 3 years ago

Sweeter and Carbinated. It is actually much better than we expected. We would totally get again, just not try pairing it with Prime Rib. Lol. — 6 years ago

06 & 08 side by side. 08 took a lot of air to come alive. Still quite stern. 06 more open. Sensed some va initially. It eventually straightened out and overtook the 08 — 7 years ago

Enjoyed a 17 at dinner with friends. This wine is beautiful, as good as the 16 I had a couple weeks ago. Super soft silky tannins. Wonderfully balanced. Great mouthfeel. Like a 20 year old Paulliac. Loved it. — 2 months ago

lovely intense Riesling fruit. A hint of oxidation. Slate, apple, sweet floral notes. Rounded with good weight in the mid palate. Defined and precise. Excellent. — 2 years ago

Sourced from the Walla Walla Rocks District, this opens with Umami and nori tones that mingle with Mandarin orange rind, and guava puree tones that all dance in the glass. The palate is plush, showing off its silky texture. Layers of bright red fruits collide with minerals, charcuterie, citrus rind accents and stony undertones on the palate. Sinfully good in its youth, this beautiful wine will cellar well over the next decade. Drink 2020-2030- 94 — 6 years ago
