4/22/2024 - Burgundy Al wrote: NRWines Before / At / After a Passover Seder (The Krengels - Bannockburn IL): Small glass. 375 ml bottle. I imagine this was better when fresher than tonight, this format certainly didn't help, with a firm and faintly drying finish. 89 points tonight, but from 375. |

5/20/2022 - tropa56 Does not like this wine: 90 pointsIf I could buy these bottles at the price I paid for them upon release, I still wouldn't. These wines from Gaja are incredibly over priced and over rated in my opinion. I do like there straight Barbaresco on occasion but I have honestly never been impressed with any of their single vineyard crus. I especially have issues with the era in which they blended the 5% Barbera into the single vineyard bottlings. The 2001 Sori Tildin was soft and velvety in the mouth, but lacked complexity and was lackluster. The Barbera is prevalent and distracting to me and I would imagine other true lovers of Barolo and Barbaresco. |

4/18/2024 - cephomer Likes this wine: 92 pointsDrank last nite at the Czech embassy with our make-shift Cepages group. Decanted at the table for an hour before drinking, and this wine really needed it. Nose similar to prior tastings, with good aromas of roses, tar and herbs. Black fruit is prominent, and the wine surprisingly remains quite tannic, particularly noticeable up front. There's tar with some herbal and savory notes, and the wine seems bigger, chunkier than I recall. Balance would prob be my biggest complaint on this occasion, or lack thereof, due to the tannic nature of this particular bottle. I would decant for a longer period next time around |

3/30/2024 - SteveN100 wrote: 92 pointsWonderful wine that still has a thick layer of tannins within it (at least in this bottle). Again, I found the floral notes that accompany younger bottles of this wine (roses, honey, apple blossom(?)) to be gone. Other than that, beautiful wine without the herbaceousness some other barbarescos have that can be off putting. |

3/8/2024 - Whitman wrote: 93 pointsReally exciting nose with black cherries, leather and a note of perfume. Pure, nothing sticks out here like all great wines. At times almost like silk, before a medium finish kicks in with nice structure and dryness. Tasted at release where the impression was the same, although it has gained power and structure. Just wished for a little more of everything to be exceptional. 1 person found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (1) |

3/6/2024 - gstutz Likes this wine: 93 pointsBrick red in color. Sandalwood, prune and clay pot on nose and reminiscent of a port. Cherry and vanilla in taste again with some oxidized notes like a port. Tannins have moderated and marry well with acidity. Drinking well and time to drink. I experienced none of the issues described by others, perhaps as this was a 375 ml stored in a Eurocave. Served with truffle risotto and a very complementary pairing. |

Im Gaumen weich, rund, auf den Punkt gereift, feinste Tannine, grossartige Harmonie, hier ist alles an seinem Platz. Im Abgang von ausgezeichneter Länge, mit einem Mix aus reifer Kirsche, Veilchen- und Tertiäraromen. Eine Top Flasche, ohne Frage. 97 vvPunkte |

2/28/2024 - Richard P Howden wrote: 94 pointsExtremely good showing, my first bottle of these 2004 Gajas. Still extremely youthful, but generous nose, resplendent with red fruit, roses, violets, intensified over the course of the evening. Palate still youthfully crunchy, mostly cherry but a long tart engaging finish. With dinner (truffle gnocchi, classic Italian ragu, and some well seasoned flank steak) the tannins calmed down a lot and the wine was almost silky. Very good now, likely better in the future. |
