This is a great wine with a noble, going forever aftertaste. Head and shoulders above most overpriced Italian Nebiollos. I woke up this morning with a clear memory of this wine on my palate, something I did not experience even with Latour or Mouton, for example.

Tasted double-blind. So so so Parkerized. Tastes like 200% new French oak, and tannic too. I thought it was Parkerized cult Spanish wine; my wife said Napa Cab. No Italian acid, just oak and tar. No even much fruit frankly. The lack of Barolo designation on Gaia’s wines seems truly fitting. #NotMyBarolo

A simply astonishing wine. Paired with Parpadelle and homemade Porcini Bolognese sauce. Phenomenal nose. Flavors were just magical as the wine evolved and integrated with the meal. Decanted 4+ hours. First sip out of the bottle before the decant was like the best teaser ever.

Super intense and vibrant - still too young I recon and has neary endless aging potential - lots of fruit and smokey notes - long lingering finish
