The bottle was decanted for 2h before drinking. It was definitely open for business. Nose was a bit restrained, but still classic Gaja. Vivid fruit, silky smooth and integrated tannins. One of the diners had Pasta with Bolognese and said the wine popped with the tomato-based sauce. Probably should drink the rest of the bottles over the next 5 years.

Bottle breathe for 2-3 hours, and decanted for 1 hour before serving. Massive wine with vivid red fruit, loads of flower and mineral nose. Big and full body. Somehow it's yet to show a lot of complexity. I suspect more decanting was needed, or longer cellaring. Will try again 5 years from now
