Barbaresco 1989 Gaja

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (96)

The 1989 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. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2030.

Ripe, rich and generous, layering the smooth black cherry, blackberry, currant and plum flavors with spicy oak notes. The tannins seem extreme, even for such a concentrated wine.
