GAJA BARBARESCO FROM THE EXCELLENT 1996 VINTAGE
Lying in Weybridge, Surrey (EHD)
Offered duty-paid, but available in bond
Barbaresco--Vintage 1996
Piedmont. Gaja
In original wooden cases
Tasting note: The 1996 Barbaresco exhibits a dense ruby colour as well as a forward nose of cherry liqueur, earth, truffle, mineral, and spicy scents. Rich, full-bodied, and seductive, with its moderate tannin largely concealed by the wine's wealth of fruit and extract, this gorgeously pure offering gets my nod as the finest Barbaresco produced by Gaja since 1990. Anticipated maturity: 2002-2016. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #130 Aug 2000
