This is beautifully lithe, polished and pure in texture with, as ever, the most gracious of tannins. Here from a slightly cooler vintage this seems if anything even more refined and elegant. Cedar, cedar and more cedar. Lilac. Liy of the valley. Violet, with aeration. So much grace and charm, so much elegance and finesse. Delicate and supersvelte texturally. Radiantly pure. Powdery tannins on the finish indicate the delicacy of the extraction and the longterm aging potential. Texturally sublime and aromatically very beautiful.

The 2024 Galatrona (100% Merlot) is a seriously beautiful, vivid wine. Blue/purplish fruit, lavender, mint and espresso are all laced together in the glass. Just bottled, the 2024 is very expressive. I can’t remember a Galatrona with this much class. Harvest took place from September 2 to 9. The 2024 spent 18 months in French oak, 30% new. This is so refined.

A racy, refined red, showing blackberry, black-truffle and violet aromas and flavors. Hints of fresh herbs like bay leaves and basil. Medium-bodied with crunchy fruit and firm tannins that turn creamy in the polished, textured finish. Lead pencil and sandalwood. Very impressive for the vintage. From organically grown grapes. Drinkable but try in two or three years.
