Lot 4 Details
GAJA BARBARESCO 1997

Piedmont.
u. 2 x 1 cm. 1 x 2 cm. 3 x wrinkled, marked & scraped labels.

Gaja's 1997 Barbaresco is undoubtedly the finest he has yet made. An exquisite effort, it boasts a dense ruby/purple color in addition to an extraordinary nose of black cherry liqueur, smoke, licorice, mineral, and floral aromas. The wine is full-bodied, opulent, and loaded with fruit. Despite its precocious nature, there is abundant tannin, and thus 3-4 years of cellaring is required. It should age effortlessly for 25 years. June 2001 WA 94
