Community Tasting Note

    May 17, 2018 - Nebbiolo night on 17 May 2018 (Winil, Moscow): 96/100

    What a bomb of a nose, with paint and lacquer, ripe juicy black and red berries, licorice, tar, the whole nine yards. Extractive, but without heaviness or the well-too-often-feeling of overly made up wine. Just brilliant.

    On the palate is neat and balanced, with a polished, round tannin, length is somewhat shorter than Mascarello, but no less beautiful.

    Modernist or no modernist, I’m loving it. With wines of his home terroir, Gaja remains a total blockbuster.
