Terlato Cru Tasting (Ever - Chicago IL): Tasting, brief note. Broad array of enticing red cherry and berry with spiced aromas. Similar flavors with very good depth and an exploding finish, albeit still firm and nearly brooding. Certainly 94-96 point potential, with so much here, 2025 forward.

Decanter Gaja Masterclass - 30 Years of Legendary wine making presented by Gaia Gaja (Decanter FWE, The Landmark hotel, London): The vineyard at the bottom of hill hence a costa not a sori. A bit darker than the other 2016s here, a bit less focused too if we can say in the relative sense of things. More barrel on the nose too than the others. Darker side to it vs the Soris, crunchier fruit, colder wine in a way, herby. More structured, intense , long finish here too. Still on the soft side and youthful elements of course. Solid wine but a class less than the Soris. We will not rate something this young hopefully we cross paths with it again in 5yrs

Red fruits, spices and forest floor in the nose. Dark cherries and umtippe red berries on the palate. Amazing structure, great depth. Already quite approachable. Last vintage with all old vines. 50% had to be ripped out after this vintage because of frost and dehydration. Give it at least another 10 years time. (Tasted at Decanter Fine Wine Encounter 2019 Masterclass.)
