Flight 1 (4 Notes)

  • 2013 Gaja Barbaresco 94 Points

    Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barbaresco

    Pop and pour. Bottled just a week before. Gaia says 2013 is a cool vintage for Barbaresco. The nose is somewhat muted, but shows a gorgeous array of flowers and cherries. Ethereal and expressive in the mouth. Cherries and spice. So soft and sweet in the mouth. Good potential here for the next 20 years or so. 94-??

  • 2012 Gaja Barolo Dagromis 91 Points

    Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barolo

    Pop and pour. Sweet cherry nose. Smooth and rich with soft tannins. Easy to drink right now. Should continue to drink well for 10 years or so. No Sperss or Conteisa was made in 2012.

  • 2011 Gaja Langhe Nebbiolo Sperss 95 Points

    Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Langhe DOC

    Open the day before. Noticeably darker color than the previous two. Black fruit nose. Quite extracted and powerful. Long, rich, tannic. Simply amazing wine with a great future. This will be the last vintage with Barbera in it. 95-??

  • 1989 Gaja Langhe Chardonnay Gaia & Rey 96 Points

    Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Langhe DOC

    Opened 2 days before. That's right. A 27 year old chardonnay open for 2 days and served after the reds. Fresh lemony peaches in the nose. Rich, complex, very long. Just a stunning wine. Expansive and compelling. Minerals that go on forever. If you told me this was a great white Burgundy, I'd believe you.
