Gaja's 2016 Barbaresco is positively stellar. A wine of poise and grace, the 2016 has so much to offer. Expressive spice and floral notes open up first, but what really stands out is the wine's nuance and delineation. There is a sense of translucency to the 2016 that is impossible to miss. Sweet red cherry, mint, cinnamon and rose petal develop in the glass, adding further shades of nuance. Quite simply, the 2016 is one of the very finest Gaja Barbarescos in recent memory. This is such a gorgeous wine. Don't miss it. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, November 2019)

375mL. Young but punchy. Nice fruit balanced with a wavy finish.

This is squarely in my wheelhouse. Love this wine. Love this producer. Needed 45 minutes to open. The cork was only lightly stained and no sediment in bottle. This is still a young wine but bursting. Lots of fruit. Well balanced. Grippy and long. It has a maturity and a complexity despite its age. Another winner.

Young but solid. This was well rounded and complex but still looking for it’s legs. Cherry and dark fruit but more earth than sweetness. The Nebbiolo is still a bit taut. Went very well with pasta dinner.

The excellent vintage shining through here and massively better than the 2015 Sori Tildin from the previous evening. Chance to save some money

17.5/20 (93/100) Розовые лепестки в аромате на первом плане, вишня, малина, белый перец. Не плотное, с высокой кислотностью и довольно интенсивными, деликатными по текстуре, пока ещё сухими танинами. Брусника во вкусе доминирует. Продолжительное послевкусие. Очень молодо.
