November 22, 2023 - Sehr delikat, floral, fein aufgefächert. Erste Gaja Begegnung und was für eine! Gewinnt mit Luft weiter an Eleganz dazu. Sehr beeindruckend!

November 2, 2023 - No detailed notes taken. This was quite impressive. The precision and layerdness were off the charts, all embedded in an ultra fine structural frame. I particularly loved the fresh herbal notes mixing with the fine red fruit and some first tertiary aromas. It peaked at 96pts with a bit of air but later lost a bit of its tension and complexity.
Decanting: Good from the go, peaked with a bit of air in the glass. I would not decant the wine. -
