Gaja / Giacosa Dinner (Ballaro, Highwood, IL): Full generous nose is slightly oaky and creamy with nuttiness, red fruit and apple skin. Full bodied palate is rich and dense. Nice countering acids. A bit simple and one-dimensional, flavorwise.

With John & Linda at our house. Lovely nose of toast and strawberries. Gorgeous pale pink color. Complex, flavorful. Everybody likes it! No reason to hold it further. Still has plenty of fruit.

Fresh clean with floral edge. Well balanced and crisp in style. Quite good.

Giacosa/ Gaja 1990s Comparison and Dinner (Ballaro - Highwood IL): Fresh apple with some berry hints. Short, pleasant, but rather simple.
