All readers need to do is taste the 2007 Barbaresco to get a sense of the promise the vintage holds at Gaja. Soft and seamless on the palate, the Barbaresco shows wonderful integrity in its fruit in an opulent, yet mid-weight style. Fragrant, perfumed aromatics are woven throughout, while an attractive spiciness develops in the glass. There is incredible depth to the fruit and simply phenomenal overall balance. Readers will not want to miss this Barbaresco; arguably Gaja's finest since 1997. Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media

Bottle seemed a little off. Still good but not a strong showing.

Best Nebbiolo I've ever had, hands down. Gorgeous wine, layered and complex. Everything I anticipated!

Rich sumptuous wine with dense black fruit, dried rose petals, liquorice and herbs. Drinking at its optimum with the fruit, acids, tannins and oak in great harmony. Great wine.

This was incredibly awesome. It was still young but drank great after an hour in decanter.

For me this is an outstanding barbaresco . Better than the 1997. Forward fruit, slightly roasted, integrated alcohol, ripe tannins. Great to drink now fabulous in 7 to 10 years . Wow.

This is a huge barbaresco--drunk today, it is dense and sweet and full of amaro-like medicinal herbs and cola that I find overwhelming. Only time will tell if there's refinement inside this beast.

Fantastic nose of violets cigar spice wood. Tannins deliver the knockout punch.
