‘Tis a little late, but came here to do some after-market research. My most enjoyable bottle of Barbaresco, and even Nebbiolo, of all time was the 1983 Gaja. A second, but one that really never yet has come completely around, is Gaja’s 1978 Sori Tildin. I realize that Gaja’s stylistically unique–very few if any go where he goes. The ’78 I picked up on release for $75 per bottle, I thimk! (If I’m not mistaken Gaja now sells all his wines as ig typicos rather than Barbarescos so he can avoid what he considers useless straitjackets for the winemaker in the DOC(+/-G?) law.

qotd: Don’t remember the name but it was the most tannic thing (big surprise right?), I’d ever tasted. Would definitely have lasted another 30 years. hard to score a wine so young

Barbaresco and Barolo Reservas must be aged for 5 years in oak. Not 4. Other than that I liked the show
