Galamus 2014 is beautifully mature, with a remarkably complex nose complexity where wood and fruit are mutually respectful. respect each other. The palate develops noble, powerful tannins, which, combined with a beautiful roundness, give the wine great fullness.

A reserved attack, but from the mid-palate onwards, superb velvety power.
