What a bomb of a nose, with paint and lacquer, ripe juicy black and red berries, licorice, tar, the whole nine yards. Extractive, but without heaviness or the well-too-often-feeling of overly made up wine. Just brilliant.
On the palate is neat and balanced, with a polished, round tannin, length is somewhat shorter than Mascarello, but no less beautiful.
Modernist or no modernist, I’m loving it. With wines of his home terroir, Gaja remains a total blockbuster.
