Gorgeously fresh. Deep plum and black cherry with some herbal notes. This is really plush and delicious. Really complex and long.

Sour cherry and tar, with thyme, rosemary and underlying broad fruit. Very sexy, but also some sour and Pepperiness. Still young- lovely.

If I ever needed something to drill into my head that aged Nebbiolo is an awe-inducing thing, well consider it done. From the get go this was just singing- I called it tar candy- though by no means sweet it felt like dessert like a richly layered torte with chocolate raspberries and licorice, topped with roses that are so beyond dessicated they've come back to life. Yes, zombie roses. Utterly divine and perfect.

One of my favorite vintages from #Gaja, but this bottle had lost some freshness.

Didn't get to drink this one. Remember having it a couple years ago and was delicious. #earthquakecasualtyatoenotri

Truly sublime after 30 minutes in the glass. Decant ahead of serving.
