• Sori Tildin 2003 Gaja (75cl)

  "Even in the super-hot 2003 vintage, Gaja's Sori Tildin displays its pedigree, with its dark ruby color, finely nuanced, detailed aromatics and layers of ripe red fruit that gradually reveal themselves as this exquisite wine sits in the glass. Offering extraordinary depth of expression as well length on the palate along with great overall balance, it is another remarkable wine from Angelo Gaja. As is usually the case, I also find it to be the most classic of the single-vineyard wines. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2025." Antonio Galloni, The Wine Advocate, 94 points

• Barbaresco 2003 Gaja (75cl)

  "Gaja's 2003 Barbaresco may well challenge its bigger siblings as the most successful of these new releases. Made in a style that combines expressive aromatics, the ripeness of the vintage and classic structure, it is an awesome effort. Though it offers plenty of super-ripe fruit and notable concentration, it never comes across as being heavy and displays exceptional overall balance. Gaja's Barbaresco rarely shows this well so early in the game and my guess is that my score may end up being conservative. 'Oddly enough it was our worst-exposed parcels that performed best in 2003, although I suppose that makes sense given that these plots were more protected from the sun. We did a very severe selection in the cellar and in 2003 we bottled a small amount of Barbaresco, roughly 30,000 bottles as compared to our normal amount of 70,000 bottles.'"

• Promis 2006 Gaja, Toscana IGT (75cl)

  2006 was an outstanding vintage and made from a blend of Merlot, Syrah and a small proportion of Sangiovese, the fruit flavours are very ripe with notes of cassis and spice (from the Syrah). Lovely ripe tannins frame the wine and there is a core of vital acidity which gives it a real sense of energy. Drink now and over the next 5 years with pastas, red meat dishes and cheeses.
