Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar Review
Rated 91
Inky ruby. Rich aromas of cherry compote, black fruits, licorice, rose, espresso and tobacco. Impressively sweet, velvety and concentrated, conveying a very ripe impression to its bitter cherry and cassis flavors. For all its density, though, this blend manages to retain vibrancy. Finishes with very good tangy cut and sweet persistence.

Wine Advocate Review
Rated 90
A glass-coating opaque purple color, it displays aromas of spice box, violets, pencil lead, and black currant. Medium to full-bodied and structured on the palate, this concentrated effort will evolve for 2-3 years and drink well from 2011 to 2019.

Wine Tasting Notes
The Galvo Garage offers an exotic array of classical cabernet characteristics: blackcurrants, dark cassis notes, and an underlying mix of dark chocolate and earthy minerality. As the wine opens there are perfumed notes apparent with cherry, prune, violets and fine cedar oak. The ripe palate has an impressive elegance, alongside abundant structure and richness of fruit with a fragrant dark chocolate and minerally dry finish.
