Product Description

" Gajas 2003 Barbaresco may well challenge its bigger siblings as the most successful of these new releases. Made in a style that combines expressive aromatics, the ripeness of the vintage & classic structure, it is an awesome effort. Though it offers plenty of super-ripe fruit & notable concentration, it never comes across as being heavy & displays exceptional overall balance. Gajas Barbaresco rarely shows this well so early in the game & my guess is that my score may end up being conservative. Oddly enough it was our worst-exposed parcels that performed best in 2003, although I suppose that makes sense given that these plots were more protected from the sun. We did a very severe selection in the cellar & in 2003 we bottled a small amount of Barbaresco, roughly 30, 000 bottles as compared to our normal amount of 70, 000 bottles." Antonio Galloni, The Wine Advocate, 93 points
