Our second go at this bottle in about two years, notes consistent; perhaps this bottle was showing younger, suggest futures will drink well through 2036+.

It’s been 16 months since last bottle of this Gargiulo G Major 7. One of my early Napa favorites. Fruit is ripe and bountiful, dark red and black. Very nicely balanced, acidity is very much holding its own, tannins are soft yet still structured. Gravely, vanilla, licorice, pencil shavings. Nice finish. Opens up nicely in the glass. — 7 days ago
From everyday wines, smooth and minerally. Cheaper than the white Bordeaux that I like — 3 months ago
I am biased to the wines from this region and love me some garnacha from Madrid. — 5 months ago

Classic dry and crisp champagne with tiny bubbles, lemon, and cream over a touch of minerality. — 4 months ago

lovely intense Riesling fruit. A hint of oxidation. Slate, apple, sweet floral notes. Rounded with good weight in the mid palate. Defined and precise. Excellent. — 14 days ago
