Description

The wine itself is broodingly aromatic with dense, deep brambly, blackcurrant and dark plum flavours with a wonderful succulence in the mid-palate so it's much less austere than usual. There's weight, power and tremendous density and layer after layer of flavour - which at present is pretty tightly coiled. Yet there's a gentleness about the wine that is not typical of Gaia at this age, certainly some characteristic restraint yet there's an approachability from power of the fruit balanced by the ripe, powdery, fine-grained tannins. The texture is velvety, almost seductive and there is an elegance to the wine. It is simply delicious now, yet with the capacity to age as well as any other vintage.
