Truly sublime. I am blown away at the flavor of a 27 year old Badbaresco.

1985 Gaja Costa Russi Barbaresco. Dinner at Ner w D&M H. Fully mature, ready to drink, still tons of fruit. Nice balance between fruit and minerality; lots of terroir and soil. Classic Barbaresco. Still full bodied. Loved it. Note: should have decanted longer- we only decanted right before serving.

Fantastic! Very soulful and balanced. Has aged beautifully - decanted for an hour. Older Gaja can really be on the money!
