Having purchased cases of wine from B‑21 for the last year, I can't say enough about this company. The selection is extensive, pricing reasonable and order fulfillment and shipping are fast. Even when the "delivery company" gets in wrong, they make it right. They have a faithful customer in me. Debbie W Hilton Head Island, SC

I’ve been using B21 for over 2 years now, for all my hard to find liquors, from Tier 1 Tequilas to exotic liqueurs, and they are hands down, the premier online alcohol delivery service I’be ever dealt with. They’re fast, convenient and most importantly, they have what you’re looking for. So if you’re having hard time finding the alcohol no one else seems to carry, not even other alcohol delivery services, take a look at B21. You won’t be disappointed. And if you have the chance to go to their warehouse, do so, it’s like Alcoholics Heaven in there.

Always good, they raised their price to get free shipping, it e everything is going up, I had a dispute on a shipping charge because they didn’t have the correct inventory, I called and they gave me a partial credit, so overall I’m happy with the service, Ed in PA.

I have been ordering from B‑21 for perhaps 5 years, maybe more, at least once a month. With a substantial number of bottles ordered, I find it's remarkable that this company has yet to make a mistake. Remarkable.

I searched for this wine locally and found nothing. I found it online, price‑shopped and purchased a case from B‑21. I rec'd frequent communiques throughout the ordering process. The best was is was ready for pickup within days at my local Walgreens. I received the exact wine and year I requested. I'd definitely shop here again!

2021 Petrolo Galatrona (750ml)

Merlot from Val d’Arno di Sopra, Tuscany, Italy

B-21 Top Recommendation
Read More

Declared “a tremendous wine by any measure” by Antonio Galloni of Vinous, the powerful and concentrated 98 pt. 2021 Petrolo Galatrona is a gorgeous, finesse-driven 100% Merlot offering enticing, aromatic fresh fruit hinting of spiced cedar and crushed stone with bright acidity on a deeply satisfying and long-lived finish, earning the Wine Spectator’s designation as “Tuscany’s answer to Petrus” and delivering top value among its Super Tuscan peers at best on the market pricing.

Marked by the rustic centuries’ old sandstone watchtower for which Galatrona is named, the Petrolo estate covers 272 hectares of rolling hillside vineyards, olive groves and forest in the Val d’ Arno di Sopra appellation bordering Chianti Classico, its owner and winemaker Luca Sanjust inspired to craft the estate’s flagship cuvee exclusively from Merlot in a style akin to the great wines of Pomerol. Sourced from 10 hectares of organically certified vines at 300 meters above sea level, the original vineyard for Galatrona was planted with Merlot clones from Bordeaux three decades ago in loamy clay soil layered with rocky schist, marl and sandstone, its high density, low yielding vines protected from intense heat by the surrounding woodlands and producing an immensely powerful and elegantly balanced Merlot. Crafted under the direction of legendary consulting enologist Carlo Ferrini, the elegant 2021 Petrolo Galatrona was fermented in concrete vats with indigenous yeasts, then aged for about 18 months in a mix of large French oak barrels and barriques about a third new, yielding a luscious wine “chock full of bright, energetic black fruits with firm, ripe, grainy tannins and bags of freshness” according to the Wine Independent’s Lisa Perrotti-Brown and declared “totally enjoyable from the first to last sip” by Decanter’s Georgina Hindle, its layered complexity promising decades of evolution.

Reminiscent of the highly collectible Le Pin according to James Suckling and earning a place on his Top 100 of 2023, the luscious 98 pt. 2021 Petrolo Galatrona is “a stunning value for the money” according to Vinous critic Antonio Galloni, a truly irresistible Merlot crafted as a transparent expression of its Tuscan terroir and ranked among the top tier Super Tuscans at a truly bargain price worthy of stocking the cellar.

The 2021 Galatrona is a fine follow-up to the 2020. In most vintages, Galatrona is very showy right out of the gate. That is not at all the case with the 2021, a wine that is going to need a number of years to be at its finest. Black cherry, plum, mocha, leather, licorice and incense infuse the 2021 with tremendous complexity. More than anything else, I admire a feeling of vertical, explosive energy that catapults the 2021 into the stratosphere. This is a tremendous wine by any measure.

98 points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous (Aug 2023)

The aromas here are very distinct with dried flowers such as lavender and violets. Some sage as well. Black berries and black olive skin. Full-bodied yet linear and energetic with very fine tannins and fantastic length. Fresh and lively in the finish. Merlot. Best after 2026.

#90 - James Suckling Top 100 of 2023

Vivid purple in the glass, gorgeous black cherry and blackcurrant aromas with touches of florality - this 100% Merlot smells wonderfully scented and inviting. Smooth, ample, really quite seductive on the palate, sensual almost in the silky but gripping tannins, beautifully ripe blackcurrant and cherry fruit and crunchy, crisp acidity that is not too sharp or too obvious but lifts the palate and gives a thrill and wonderful freshness to the overall expression. Beautifully presented, harmonious, balanced and totally enjoyable from the first to last sip. A gorgeous wine, intense yet energetic, full of flavour and textural nuance. Totally unputdownable, although with lots of potential for improvement over ageing. The wine spent 18 months in French oak tonneaux and barriques, 30% new. 3.56pH.

97 points, Georgina Hindle, Decanter (Jul 2023)

Though seamless and lusciously saturated with black currant, blackberry, violet, iron, tobacco and spice aromas and flavors, this red is also solidly built, with polished tannins. Nevertheless, this is more about finesse and elegance than power, with a vibrant profile and superlong finish. Merlot. Best from 2025 through 2042. 2,917 cases made, 150 cases imported.
