For us, the old Gaja wines, which were produced by the father, are much more interesting than the modern wines. Great vintages are 1961, 1964 and 1971.

The Gaja 1964 Barbaresco has a complex and fine nose with cherry, moss, undergrowth and tar, as well as full body, little fruit, melted tannin, structure and is balanced, long, persistent, dry and precise. 18.8/20 points for a sensationally mature Barbaresco.
