This was outstanding. I was worried it would be over the hill, but the exact opposite. Great structure and fruit. Probably has 2 solid years in the drinking window.

no decant; bright purple; bright nose of red fruit, stewed plums; still showing the flashy Gaja structure, even though a bit long in tooth; plush red fruit, anise, herbs; beyond its flirtatious best; 17

Garnet with a slightly orange rim. Nose reminds of kirsch, mint, aniseed, leather, fur, mocha. Elegant mouth, very mineral and tannic, with notes of chocolate and licorice. Just a tad too short in the finish.

It was a beautiful bottle. Opened up nicely. Had t open for a couple of hours before and it had wonderful nose and a wonderful after taste.

Confraria - Barolos e Barbarescos (Casa do Carlao): Primeiro vinho da noite. Delicioso, complexo, otima acidez e boa a longa persistencia.
