Gaja White Truffle Dinner (Osteria Langhe - Chicago IL): Big, dense and powerful with more black cherry than red cherry, all still amazingly fresh and bright for its age. Palate shows more modern-esque touches, making this less classically Piedmont than I'd prefer, but a very powerful, tasty wine with good enough spice and complexity

Dark roasted dense black fruit aromas with anise note. Big broad & ripe flavors with good concentration. Nothing shy here, but all in balance with plenty of structure. Just missing a bit of complexity, but a strong showing.

Great bottle. Wine of the night against 1978 Costa Russi, 1978 Cicala, 1978 Colonello and 1961 Monfortino. Very young and primary, shockingly so. Acetone and pencil lead.

Nothing left but acid and a chemical note. Great provenance on this bottle, but it was not meant to be.
