Quite tense and grippy. Plum and black cherry, a hint of licorice and a steely spine. Young still. Hard to judge but beautifully balanced components

Very good, long finish
Still not so focused yet(I hope yet), but truly it everything to become a great wine in 5 to 10 years
Needs food now🧐

Superb nose, palate and finish. Still young. Wonderful sous bois and great complexity

Taut, pristine, focused with red fruit, dusty earth, and roses. This needs at least a few more years

My favorite out of the lineup. Showing amazing fruit but with the toughest structure of all Gaja's wines. This has longevity. Huge presence and length on the palate already. Drank w/ Gaia Gaja at Four Seasons Hotel, Austin.

This is a little past our 4 year anniversary of our visit there. Now, even if you are a professional, to visit, you need to make a $200 per person donation to their charity to visit.
Tonight, our pizza wine. One might want a more special occasion! For us, it’s an Italian Anniversary and close to the end of our outdoor season. So, it is a celebration! This is the last weekend of 80 plus degree daytime weather. We have 3-4 weeks before it starts raining.
The nose reveals, candied, ruby, stewed fruits of; blackberries, dark, sweet & sour, dark cherries, slightly roasted strawberries, dark currants & dark raisins. Limestone minerals, dark, rich, turned, black earth, dry crushed rocks, soft, sweet tarriness, some black licorice, leather, soft woodiness, chewy, salted, caramel, mocha, vanilla, dry brush with candied, floral, red, purple and blue florals.
The body is; full, ruby, ripe & juicy. The tension & structure are firm the length & balance are nearing its peak. Candied, ruby, stewed fruits of; blackberries, dark, sweet & sour, dark cherries, slightly roasted strawberries, dar currants, dates & dark raisins. Sucking on limestone minerals, sandstone, anise, dark, rich, turned, black earth, dry crushed rocks, soft, sweet dark, tarriness, some black licorice, leather, soft woodiness, chewy, salted, caramel, mocha, vanilla, dry brush with candied, floral, red, purple and blue florals. The acidity is round and near perfect. The long, ruby, slightly, tarry, ruby, rich, well balanced finish persists endlessly.
The 01 still has another 15-20 years plus of good drinking ahead.
