Friday, March 28, 2014 - Decanted and served. Solid cork and good level.
One cannot argue against the longevity of this wine, and indeed it is a very good one, however the abuses of ripeness at the time of its birth clearly show and add a heaviness to the wine. Tar, light burnt notes, concentrated dark fruit, cherry, liquorice. Very much alive and vibrant but with a heavy edge that sort of limits the balance and finesse of what otherwise is a great bottle. 93
One better makes sure likes the Gaja style before spending the money
