| Description: | Professional Wine Reviews for Fattoria Petrolo Galatrona 2015 Rated 99 by James Suckling Top 100 Wines Of 2017 #3 - Terrific aromas of violets, roses and raspberries with hints of strawberries and brown sugar. Full body. Phenomenal layers of focused fruit and polished velvety tannins. This is the Galatrona that everyone has been waiting for. It's the vintage that shows depth and power yet wonderful finesse and focus. Best ever. Drink from 2023 but already electrifying. Rated 97 by Decanter The 2015 Galatrona is another gem from this estate. Made from a single vineyard and 100% Merlot brought up in one-third new French oak, its vibrant purple color is followed by a heavenly bouquet of creme de cassis, black cherries, leafy herbs, crushed rock, and violets. Incredibly pure and finesse-driven on the palate, yet still concentrated and powerful, its building tannin and integrated acidity all point to a very long life. (Dunnuck) read more.

(Dunnuck) Rated 94 by Wine & Spirits Subtle black spice notes weave through flavors of ripe blackberry and plum in this lush, velvety merlot. The wine aged in barriques (one-third new) for 18 months, and shows an elegance and polish, more sedate than Petrolo's lively Campo Lusso (also recommended here). The fine, densely packed tannins rein in the fruit, requiring several hours of air before layers of tobacco and dark chocolate begin to emerge. |
