Introduction
Highly anticipated tasting that took a while to sell out.
Flight 1 (8 Notes)
Closing
Presentation was ok but rote.
Wine selection was a good sample of what the Gaja family has to offer.
The classic Barbaresco was underwhelming--needs aging.

Best red wine of the night! Would buy a case.
Elegant aroma, ripe blueberries, super fragrant, black olives
Palate was fruit forward with grippy tannins. Probably needs aeration to improve mouth.

2021 Gaja Barolo Dagromis 87 Points
Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barolo
Generally not a huge fan of barolo but will enjoy one here or there. This was not it.
Aromas: couldn't pick up much even after letting warm up
Strong tannins, not enjoyable.
Chances are this is great with select food pairings, but not for sipping alone.

Ripe plum and elegant aromas.
Blueberries and stewed beef on the palate.
Needs proper decanting and aeration.
