Thursday, November 19, 2015 - Barolo gathering at Aggio (Aggio restaurant, Baltimore): Noticeable darker and bigger than the first two wines. Expressive nose displaying incredible youthful black fruit, licorice, a hint of leather, vanilla and charred steak, menthol and mineral. With air, iron similar to the first two wines emerge and the menthol note gets stronger. Excellent concentration, youthful ripe black cherry fruit driven palate impression, a hint of mineral, bright acidity, nicely integrated sweet tannins and long sweet finish. The youngest and most backward showing of the three ‘90s. Based on my limited experiences, Gaja takes a long time to get fully integrated, becomes harmonious and reach the peak. Really enjoyable.
