Gaja Conteisa Barolo Nebbiolo 2014

$273

It is nearly impossible to overstate the influence of Angelo Gaja on Italian wine and its lofty reputation among connoisseurs. New release! 98 Points James Suckling: "The nose opens with a startling play between white truffles, bark and tea leaves and then crushed violets, lavender, blueberry peel, lemon rind and sour cherries. Full body, ultra-fine tannins, acidity as sharp as a razor and a long, ethereally mineral finish. The length but sheer clarity and accuracy in the delivery is remarkable. Perhaps hard to believe that this better than the 2013, but it is. Drink in 2022." 95 Points Robert Parker: "The 2014 Barolo Conteisa is an impressive wine that defies the odds of the vintage. Although the Cerequio vineyard did not suffer hail in 2014 (it did in 2016), grape production was reduced by half anyway. The remaining grapes delivered their best with intense flavors and crisp contours. Gaia Gaja tells me that the clusters harvested were perfect in appearance. This is a perfumed wine that offers defined aromas of wild cherry that rise to the top with intensity. The wine's tonality is dark and thick, and the tannins are full and structured."

150+ years ago Giovanni Gaja opened small restaurant in Barbaresco, making wine to complement his food. 1859, he founded the Gaja Winery. Winery has been shaped by that of Angelo Gaja. Ruby, rich berry fruits aromas with earthy toasty oak notes. Palate, juicy cherry and raspberry with tobacco, black pepper, leather, structured tannins, wild acidity on rich long finish ending with espresso character. Just stating to show off. Needs Cellaring! Pricey, but Nice!!

Dense. Menthol on nose. Raspberry and tobacco most prominent in a tightly wrapped, luxurious body. Celebrating with old friends for first time in ages. Had with Pizzeria Bianco.

Dense and heady. Needs 2-10 more years. Complex AF with lots of changing notes. Raspberries and dark cherries. Menthol and cinnamon. Needs food and healthy decant.
