Sampled at a tasting hosted by Angelo Gaja. Not available for sale, this was provided by Mr. Gaja from his cellar.

Good color for a 26-year old wine. Only slight bricking. Sweaty, cheesy, barnyard nose. This one still has lots left in the gas tank. The anise, dried citrus, and dusty plum flavors build steadily to a crescendo and surge on the finish with finesse and power. A real statement about the longevity of Gaja's barbs. 94P.

Cheers,

Otis
