Gaja
Barbaresco Nebbiolo
Barbaresco, Cuneo, Piedmont, Italy
The 2018 Barbaresco has really come together nicely since I last tasted it. A super-classic wine, the 2018 offers up soaring aromatics, mid-weight structure and fine balance. Pure, transparent and impeccable in its balance, the 2018 is just sublime today. Time has been so beneficial here. Crushed red berry, spice, mint and rose petal grave this effusive, refined Barbaresco from Gaja. This is the best showing of the 2018 yet, and I say that having tasted a few bottles already.

Very very smooth and bursting with cherry. Also very very young but this was a wonderful preview of things to come. Will only get more layered. Light but still with body and great medium color. Loved this.

Wow. Beautiful color, so much fruit on the nose for such a youngster. Truly a pleasure to drink.
