Galamus 2016 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 wine with character!

Robert Parker - Wine Advocate
Rated (2018 guide) 90-92/100 (Vintage 2016) (Wonderful wine)
Domain rated Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)
About the wine:
Not yet bottled, the 2016 Galamus is an almost equal blend of Syrah, Grenache and Carignan, aged in 30% new oak. Notes of toast, cedar and vanilla mark the nose, but there's plenty of rich, velvety fruit to balance things out. It's full-bodied and ripe, bordering on hot and excessive, so drink it as soon as it's released and for the next two years for its hedonistic qualities.
