WOW! Picked up for $11.00 in the likely over the hill section. It opened with deeply stewed fruit and the aged nose I expected but as it opened up it was fantastic! The funk blew off and mature but less stewed red fruits and tuscan soil contributions came to the front and it got an interesting lanolin element on the palate. Definitely drink sooner rather than later but those liking a more aged style will not be disappointed.

Athens Wine Event; 4/7/2012-4/8/2012 (Athens, Greece): Blind tasted. Very modern, lots of extraction and density. Sweet oaky core running throughout this wine. ( With hindsight these are textbook Galatrona features , see our dinner with Luca Sanjust). Lots of presence but the oak once again takes so much away in complexity and makes a wine with little vintage variation. 90 but can easily last 10yrs more
