1983 vintage at Gaja winery. The very first vintage of this wine, although not called Gaia & Rey at the time. Beautiful aromas of a mature but still vibrant Chardonnay. Honey, flowers and stone fruit profile. Some mushroom. On the palate, medium acidity and alcohol, medium plus concentration and finish. Slight oxidative notes in the mid palate. Drink now - will not benefit from further ageing.
