This vintage Gaja did not produce any single vineyard Barbaresco, and all Nebbiolo grapes were used to make this wine.
Moderately intense cherry red colour. Rich and dense nose is still bit reserved but delivers ripe cranberry and cherry notes with cacao and new oak spices. Long and lingering finish is intense and mineral. This wine is nowhere near its prime. Drink in 2030-2040. For now, decant it 4 hours and serve at 17-18°C with pigeon en croute with truffle jus.
