Tasting notes
Surprisingly deeply coloured. Intense Indian spice – cardamom, 5 spice – but also sort of sweaty nose. Cleans up after time in the glass to more fruit sweetness. Leather on the palate and fig and sweet meatiness but a little tart on the finish. (JH)

Gaja's 1967 Barbaresco was denser in texture, with surprising depth and richness, if not the complexity or freshness of the Giacosa. It too was a superb example and an absolutely delicious wine. The Gaja winery was already well-known to discerning consumers forty years ago, and with very good reason, as this and other bottles have amply proven.
