Incredible amount of fruit and character in this wine, with mint, mineral, blackberry and plum aromas turning to tobacco and tar. Full-bodied, with an iron-cast core of fruit and velvety tannins and a long, long finish. Incredibly tight and powerful. Give this a decade. From Gaja’s 30-acre vineyard in the Barolo-producing zone of Serralunga. Best after 2013. 2,800 cases made. –JS  (Jul 31 2004)
