1958 Gaja Barbaresco
JR
Jancis Robinson
Review Date: 09/2016Mature mid ruby with bricky rim. A hint of oxidation at first, but underneath real concentration and depth of fine fruit and more than a hint of iron. Gorgeous acidity and waves of fine, clinging tannins. Velvety and with gorgeous depth. Not a hint of oak, here. Not over the hill by far. Nothing short of stupendous. 18.5/20 points (WS)

Notes
This is a rare wine made by Angelo Gaja's father, Giovanni. Praise from Decanter magazine: "Intense, caramel-coated cherry fruit, Peking duck and Amontillado Sherry. Lifted Chinese five-spice perfume and concentrated figs and prunes – juicy, ethnic and unique. Finish still has primary fruit freshness along with beef jerky notes." (10/2010)
