The Wine Advocate judges the Clos Galena and the Galena as outstanding wines displaying exceptional complexity and character. The Wine Advocate rates with 95 points the Clos Galena 2004 and 92 points the Galena 2004.

"Clos Galena 04, opaque purple-colored, it offers a super-expressive nose of spice, grilled meta, black currants and blueberry jam. Full-bodied, with mouth-filing fruit, this flamboyant wine is dense, fat and layered. There is well-concealed tannin and great balance."

"Galena 04, it is a internationally styled effort with a dark ruby color, spicy red currant and black cherry aromas with a touch of vanilla in the background. Medium to full-bodied, it has a supple texture, layers of sweet, ripe fruit, and a long, heady finish."
