D’Arenberg “The Galvo Garage” 2002

by alec on September 24, 2005

I’ve just decanted a bottle of d’Arenberg’s "The Galvo Garage" 2002, which I found in my local LCBO for C$29.95. I picked it up on a whim, not knowing anything about it other than the fact that I’ve enjoyed just about every d’Arenberg wine I’ve purchased.  It’s a classic Bordeaux blend — cabernet sauvignon, merlot, petit verdot, cabernet franc. 

It opens up quickly, with a slightly alcoholic, but very fruity nose.  Classic bordeaux flavours — cassis, dark berries, and almost a green apple tartness, and a nice finish.  Dinner isn’t for another hour.  We’ll see how it evolves by then.
