  This took some time to open up and somehow lost some aged liquorice notes that made it feel somewhat older than it is. After some time, it showed with lovely cherry, dusty, present tannins, roses, some oak.

  Pink rim, ruby red center. Fragrant red berries, strawberry, prune, tobacco, leather and tar. Fresh and elegant. Medium-bodied, medium silky tannin, and medium-high acidity. Long finish. Balanced and well made.
  
  We drank it together with a Roagna 2012 Barbaresco Pajè Vecchie Viti. It was not a fair match because the Roagna was a single vineyard and Gaja was a village wine. The Roagna was much better, but the Gaja was still wonderful.

  30 decant at Widder Zurich
  Medium bodied with that Gaja cherry, balanced but with a tannic bite on the finish that should resolve with more bottle age. If there’s something missing, it’s depth. Will that come with age? Well in hour three then wine definitely improved. 94 today

  An elegant structured wine but still needs time as the tannins are still over powering. Give it it at least 5-years.

  A solid wine. Medium to full body, rich fruits, heavy tannins and needs time. Is it a WoW wine. Not yet. Still evolving. At this young age I was expecting more. (I am saying price point and similar Barbaresco to be had). For me Nice. Keep for a long long time.
