This is a somewhat disappointing wine-very one-dimentional and boring. It was made in a very traditional style. Obviously the Pride reds are much more suited to the winemaker's style. It could have been one of a hundred nondiscript wines from Napa. 1 of 1 people found this useful |

High alcohol taste, almost chemical overtones. Not worth buying again. Visit my website: The Wine Collector |

**(*) Not as good as previous vintages. Young deep red/purple colour. Ripe fruit on nose. Not too alcoholic but less concentrated than earlier vintages. Would buy and try again. |

Oustanding. Easy drinking wine, but more complex than the usual cheap beaujolais. |

Super-concentrated and strong all over. Intense nose: fruit, leather, minerals (blood - ?). Smoky and spicy (almost medicinal) palate, with great balanced fruit in the finish. |

I dont think this wine needs an introduction as it is one Parkers highest scoring wines in the history of the Wine Advocate but 2003 was very kind to Galardi. I cannot say enough about this wine as the vintage played right into their hands with a firm, cooling sea influence at night and the solar intensity of 2003 by day. The confluence of climate, sun and soil produced a beverage of immense stature that has the potential to be a legend. From Aglianico and Piedarossa this is as site specific as it gets with the volcanic ash of Mt. Vesuvius playing a big role in this coastal area near Naples. |

Gigantic in all ways -- including alcoholic. Inky color; huge peppery zin nose; huge, spicy, woody, concentrated palate; long, somewhat hot, finish. Too much for food. A fine (great?) sipping wine -- Jennifer loves it for writing ... but we both thought it seems almost more like a port than a wine. |
