Upon opening the wine seemed to be a bit oxidized, which turned out not to be the case. Within 15 minutes any hint of oxidation blew off and was replaced by good fruit and balance. 30 minutes later however the wine seemed to shut down.

Drank on Valentine's day with home made Ragu and Noodles -- waht a treat --- great pairing and great wine. Perfectly balanced with plenty of fruit and tannins still around. I t hink it is at its peak or just past --- DRINK NOW!

Profilo autunnale di gran fascino al naso per questo Barbaresco penalizzato solo da una chiusura leggermente amarognola...apice già superato, da bere

Gaja vs. Giacosa Barbaresco Dinner (Scopri): Corked. Pretty badly too. Such a shame as it looked like a killer wine, deep ripe fruit with serious structure.
