Wonderful. Rich so rich but still so distinctively Barolo - loads of tar some rose petals. Black fruits. High acidity and tannin but plenty of fruit to balance the structure. Sooo long and complex. Drink now, will last but don't wait.

What an absolute treat. Never, ever underestimate the old masters, like Giacosa, Conterno and Gaja. This has everything you want from a top notch mature Barolo. And it’s still convincingly fresh and vibrant. It can easily last at least 5 more years without declining but for me, it’s at it’s peak now!

At a really good stage right now. Dense and intense and still very well balanced. Impressive effort - but then again..... that's Gaja for you!

Beautiful nose. Floral.
Tannic. Needed a few more years

Dark; sleek, glossy; flashy, dense. Moderne. This is drinking now but potential for improvement. At its peak in a decade?
