The 2020 Barbaresco is a very young wine. In most years, the Gaja Barbaresco is quite showy, but the 2020 clearly needs time. There's terrific fruit intensity, but the aromatics aren't quite expressive. These days the Gaja wines have less oak imprint, which pushes the fruit forward, but also yields a wine that is a bit more austere in the early going. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, October 2023)

Pretty plummy fruit. Really stunning and clear, lifted fruit. Hints of roses, wild strawberry. Something great about this. A really well kept bottle.
