The 1988 Barbaresco offers the classic nose of dried cherries, herbs, cedar, and toasty oak. In the mouth, it is medium to full-bodied, with considerable tannic clout. The long finish is dominated by the wine's tannins. It should benefit from 3-4 years of cellaring and keep for 10-15. All of Gaja's 1988 Barbarescos are backward, reserved wines. Even after sitting four days with the corks pulled they exhibited no signs of oxidation.

Gagliole 2018 exemplifies the pinnacle of fine winemaking, meticulously crafted in the heart of Tuscany’s renowned Chianti Classico region. Produced by the esteemed Gagliole Estate, this vintage benefits from the estate’s century-old tradition and dedication to sustainable viticulture. Handpicked Sangiovese grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness, then carefully fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve their vibrant flavours and aromatic complexity. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes a maturation process in French oak barrels for 18 months, imparting subtle notes of vanilla and spice while allowing the fruit character to flourish. The result is a beautifully balanced wine with deep ruby hues, intense aromas of cherry and plum, and a harmonious palate marked by silky tannins and a long, elegant finish. Gagliole 2018 is a testament to the producer’s commitment to quality and tradition, making it a distinguished choice for connoisseurs seeking excellence in every sip.

(1x75cl) 1988
Wine Advocate (87)
The 1988 Barbaresco offers the classic nose of dried cherries, herbs, cedar, and toasty oak. In the mouth, it is medium to full-bodied, with considerable tannic clout. The long finish is dominated by the wine's tannins. It should benefit from 3-4 years of cellaring and keep for 10-15. All of Gaja's 1988 Barbarescos are backward, reserved wines. Even after sitting four days with the corks pulled they exhibited no signs of oxidation. While they should be uncommonly long-lived, I did not see quite the flesh and richness possessed by such vintages as 1985 and 1982. Importer: Vinifera Imports, Ronkonkoma, NY.In Bond€221.00 -

Gaja's1989 Barbaresco smells like freshly cut roses and sweet, aromatic spices. This impeccable, young Barbaresco reveals exceptional elegance without even the faintest hint of oxidation. As it sits in the glass, the wine's inner perfume continues to emerge in a dazzling display of class and elegance. Simply put, this is extraordinary juice….and those are not words I use lightly.In Bond€256.00 -

Gorgeous red, with attractive rose petal, violet, chocolate, spice and cassis flavors offered in an elegant and racy package. Sophisticated, well-integrated tannins, medium body, supple and has a long, delicious finish. Tempting now, better after 2000. Gaja made no single-vineyard crus this vintage, putting his best vats in this regular Barbaresco instead. 3,583 cases made. -In Bond€241.00 -

All readers need to do is taste the 2007 Barbaresco to get a sense of the promise the vintage holds at Gaja. Soft and seamless on the palate, the Barbaresco shows wonderful integrity in its fruit in an opulent, yet mid-weight style. Fragrant, perfumed aromatics are woven throughout, while an attractive spiciness develops in the glass. There is incredible depth to the fruit and simply phenomenal overall balance. Readers will not want to miss this Barbaresco; arguably Gaja’s finest since 1997. Anticipated maturity: 2017-2032.In Bond€1,300.00 -

Ripe and rich nose of dried strawberries and slice plums. Very sweet fruit on the nose. Hot growing season comes through. Full-bodied, with chewy and rich tannins and a cocoa, ripe berry and round tannin finish. Drinking well now but will age for a long time.In Bond€1,300.00 -
(6x75cl) 2010
Wine Advocate (94)
Smack from the start, the 2010 Barbaresco shows full-on Gajissimo personality with irresistible opulence and intensity, magically contrasted against remarkable smoothness and finesse. Everyone wants to know his secret. The wine delivers seductively rich concentration and integrated oak that is offset by a delicate portfolio of chiseled mineral, dried berry fruit, Spanish cedar, crushed herb, anisette and blue flower. Fruit is sourced from 14 vineyards in Barbaresco. It already leaves a mark, but will reward those who wait. Anticipated maturity: 2018-2028.In Bond€1,500.00
