Wednesday, January 24, 2024 - Absolutely stunning wine. Incredible mouthfeel, velvety and mouthcoating plush tannins. Black cherry, ripe plum, prune, black cherry pipe tobacco and licorice. Three levels deep with a one-minute finish. From 2012-2016 Gargiulo 575 OVX and G Major 7 offering were about as good as Napa produced.
