Terrific aromas of violets, roses and raspberries with hints of strawberries and brown sugar. Full body. Phenomenal layers of focused fruit and polished velvety tannins. This is the Galatrona that everyone has been waiting for. It's the vintage that shows depth and power yet wonderful finesse and focus. Best ever. Drink from 2023 but already electrifying."

Written Notes

It’s amazing how the fragrant floral and black-fruit aromas explode on the palate. Tasted from the barrel, this exuberant 2015 Galatrona is one of the purest expressions of Merlot on the market. It is extremely fruit-driven, with notes of luscious blackberries and blueberries. This charming Merlot has super-refined tannins that evolve gracefully on the palate and come to a long, yet neat finish. There is also a good acidity here, with notes of well-integrated oak. I have to say, this is such a fantastic vintage for Galatrona! 100% Merlot. Drinking window 2019-2040
