    December 26, 2022 - Excellent. I wasn't that into this the first night and tried again another night and wasn't in the groove, but ~3/4 of the bottle really found itself the third night. This is strange, because looking at (rust brown-yellow) and tasting this, you'd think air would be the enemy, but that's not how it worked for me.

    Strange / silly of me to have sat on this bottle for five years after purchase.

    I'll just ditto DK AMATEUR's note from a couple of years ago.

    December 31, 2021 - Unfortunately this was far more oxydized than the two previous bottles. Colour was distinctly brown. It wasn't really undrinkable,it was still coherent and had notes that would be natural in a palo cortado. But a pleasure? Not really.

    February 26, 2021 - First half was drunk over an hour alongside a 2017 Zidarich vitovska which was opened two days ago. Actually, the Zidarich was more complex but the old wine aromas (a hint of oxidation, like in an amontillado sherry, a hint of vanilla cream) and the lively structure -- nothing old there -- of the 20 year old Galea were superb. For some reason the importer sells these at a lower price than the 2015 and 2016. So it should also be mentioned that the price of the Zidarich was actually 10 to 15 euros higher than this 20 year old beauty!

    On the second day, from recorked half-bottle kept in the fridge, it is still excellent, the old wine character morphing into anise aromas with increasing temperature.

    October 2, 2020 - Zalto universal glass, drunk over two hours. At first, an old and seemingly oxidised nose (caramel and bananas), though nothing to scare a lover of traditional Rioja. With time, it morphed gradually into something more like aged dry white wine, at times with a whiff of lava. Wonderful creamy texture with a kind of smoothly organised complexity and impeccable balance. Quite a firm wine, very good with food. I would have liked to leave something for tomorrow, but is was just too tasty.
