Domaine Galuval Noir Ventabren 2019

Those of you experienced in drinking wines made from the Caladoc grape, raise your hand. Didn’t think so. Now is definitely the time to rectify that. In addition, this one already has half a dozen years under its belt, contributing to its maturity and complexity. Under Diam. An opaque maroon with a purple rim, the nose reveals notes of black cherries, chocolate, tobacco leaves, blackberries, dried herbs, charcuterie and bacon fat. Good underlying power throughout, there is serious length and intensity here. A wine of richness and direction, which is clearly very comfortable with itself. It will sail through the next ten to twelve years.
