  Gaja 2000 tasting, wine #1: Blue/red fruit, cedar, sweet tobacco, hay, grass. Evident cab nose. Warm palate with expressive and highly concentrated fruit. Lots of spices, tar and oak. Friendly and well integrated tannins. Early in drinking window. 95% CS, 3% MER, 2% CF. From vineyards in Barbaresco. High quality wine but not my cup of tea.

  My first time with this wine, a cab sauvignon based wine from Piedmont with some decent age on the bottle. I think this would have really benefitted from a decant, but the bottles were disappearing swiftly and not time for such matters. The color on this is quite dark and dense, the nose is black fruits, earth with some rose petal floral notes. This definitely gets better the longer it is in the glass, with the nice aromatics coming through the denser palate. While I liked this I didn't really spend as much time with the glass as I would have liked.

  Drank during wine tasting in martinborough with small group of GARY narkles. Drank it later in the night and after cleaning palate with patron anejo. Soft as silk panties, a little blue cheese and eucalyptus. Loved it

  Kleur: Diep robijnrood. Aroma / bouquet: Het typische bouquet van een belegen Cabernet-Sauvignon. Donker kersenfruit, gronderig, paddestoelen. Een vleugje stalgeur. Tertiair. En aangenaam! Smaak / Afdronk: Gematigde zuurgraad. Prachtige concentratie. Vol. Maar tegelijkertijd boterig zacht. Fantastisch rijpe tannines. Indrukwekkend lange afdronk. Algemeen / potentieel: De Wine Advocate was buitengewoon kritisch, ik ben zeer enthousiast. Heerlijk. Mondvullend en boterzacht. 50 + Kleur: 5 + Aroma / bouquet: 12 + Smaak / Afdronk: 16 + Algemeen / potentieel: 8 = 91/100

  Gaja Masterclass with Gaia Gaja: Menthol, spice, toast and truffle. Good acidity on the palate, the wine still feels tight though, there is not a lot given away at this point in time and maybe another 5 years would help.
