This 2016 has a more powerful core and slightly darker fruits than the 2015 that o can remember. The structure is more pronounced, yet it remains impeccably balanced with seamless oak integration. Elegant!

Always a treat to taste a wine from Garguilo. — 4 days ago

This is a different animal! Smouldering smokey nose with light ripe fruit. Woody and complex. Changing with every sip and just got better and better. Loved this wine. Major recommendation! — 3 years ago

Superb balance of savory, floral and fruity elements, acid and texture! Hitting all those notes. Nose has a hint of petrol and floral character and then the palate is major fruit; yellow raspberries, gooseberry, apple, jasmine, clover honey, hay, custard. Brisk fruit snaps into savory acid and a long finish. And the texture is silky; more weight than many a Mosel Riesling in this price range. So good! — 5 years ago

Highball can. Better than the highball served en route from JFK to Haneda actually. Worth repeating. — 2 months ago

Love this wine but I will admit 2020 is not as strong as other vintages. Nose is lovely with violets, dark cranberries, berry fruit and lots of smoke and minerals. Palate is lush but also had a major mineral spines Good freshness and purity but the heat of 2020 is showing in that it’s not hot but it’s also not as focused as it could be. Maybe air will help.

DAY 3 update: Wow did this need air. Gorgeous purity and freshness and stunning minerality. 9.1 to 9.3. — 9 months ago

2019 Cote du Py By far the best Gamay Noir I have tasted in several years. Such a precise expression of Morgon. This aroma shows the perfect combination of deep and inviting cherry plum fruitiness along with the slightest brush pepperiness and subtle meaty/earthy hints. There is no funky Brett in this wine that I can find. Not squeaky clean commercial either. There is no mistaking the pedigree of this vineyard site as well as the deft hand of this legendary producer. The texture is pure pleasure, almost nil tannins (The way I like it), and major length. Woody, brushy (rotundones) are combined with perfectly ripe tree fruit and alluring minerality . For anyone confused about the distinction between Burgundy and Beaujolais this should stand as a model example. Bravo bravo bravo!!! — 3 years ago
