April 30, 2015 - We were lucky to be invited for a visit to Gaja Winery, which was founded by Giovanni Gaja in 1859 and has been owned and operated by five generations of the Gaja family. Giovanni Gaja was the great-grandfather of Angelo Gaja, the Winery's current owner. Angelo has taken Gaja, and the Italian wine industry in general, to a whole new level. Excellent, big, long finish nice nose. Can wait for 20 years. Made great whites, but no reds, in 2002.
November 28, 2014 - not very elegant...
November 4, 2012 - This is magnificent. I've owned this for 8 years and the I first had this wine about 5 year ago. It's mellowed and it really is excellent - so well balanced and such a great expression of the grape
July 14, 2005 - At Restaurant Alba: Powerful, minerally chardonnay, beautifully balanced - first rate
March 11, 2004 - Gaja Tasting hosted by Angelo Gaja (The Peninsula Hotel- Chicago): This had a Chardonnay profile to my palate and I mentioned to Otis that it was not my style. This was a walking around wine at the reception before the tasting so I did not take notes. 87 points.
March 10, 2004 - The is nealy 100% Chardonnay and was served during a reception before the tasting. I was completely unaware that it was Chardonnay when someone asked me what it was and I replied "I'm not sure, it tastes like a Chard though." No notes, but it was very minerally, full of lemon zest, buttercream, and balanced.
