This was very nice tonight , easy drinking , enjoyed by all. Blends like these don’t need as much breathing at this point in their lives. Ready for the next bottle.

Good , would have benefitted from more air time prior to drinking. Had a little less teeth and grit then I would have expected. Maybe in a phase right now ,because this wine was a little shut down in my opinion.

Sublime! Brilliant bouquet of sweet red berries, sugar powder, all the fruits and spices, extractive but superbly harmonious. Outstanding depth and balance.
Despite all the recent natural wine despise towards a huge line of various commercially successful bottlings of Gaja, his top Barbarescos remain just that, top.
Shameless, sensual and inspirational.

Not as good as had expected. Its a great wine of course but I brought this one to a blind-test and I thought this one would kick it. Great wine but I have had better piedmont-wines for half price!

Rich, complex, and full of fruit. Great top notes and acid and smooth round tannins. Pleasant volatile acidity.
