Gaja Barbaresco 1985 — a legendary Nebbiolo from a warm vintage: dried cherry, cedar, tobacco and balsamic notes framed by subtle spice and underbrush. Silky, fully melded tannins and precise acidity give exceptional poise and length. Decant gently or open just before serving to preserve delicate tertiary aromas; best enjoyed slightly cool from the cellar to showcase its layered, elegant profile.
