Barbaresco
2007 "94 points. All readers need to do is taste the 2007 Barbaresco to get a sense of the promise the vintage holds at GAJA. Soft and seamless on the palate, the Barbaresco shows wonderful integrity in its fruit in an opulent, yet mid-weight style. Fragrant, perfumed aromatics are woven throughout, while an attractive spiciness develops in the glass. There is incredible depth to the fruit and simply phenomenal overall balance. Readers will not want to miss this Barbaresco; arguably GAJA's finest since 1997."

Costa Russi
2007 "98 points. The 2007 Costa Russi combined richness and focus to a degree that has seldom been seen here. This insanely beautiful wine boasts a breathtaking bouquet, explosive, generous fruit and an absolutely eternal finish. Layers of dark red fruit, minerals, flowers, and spices saturate every corner of the palate as this mind-blowing Costa Russi struts its stuff.
This is a towering effort from Angelo Gaja."

Sorė San Lorenzo
2007 "98 points. The 2007 Sorė San Lorenzo is perhaps the most massive, virile wine in this lineup, and accordingly it will require the most time. Tannic and austere at the outset, the wine gradually opens to reveal staggering richness and depth in its dark fruit. The wine turns more elegant in the glass, revealing a myriad of black fruit, tar, licorice, spices, and scorched earth in a dazzling display of class and elegance.
This is one for the ages."

Sorė Tildėn
2007 "97 points. The 2007 Sorė Tildėn opens with a huge, kaleidoscopic bouquet that immediately draws me in. A remarkably vivid wine, the sensual Sorė Tildėn caresses the palate with silky, textured fruit, showing incredible power, length, and class. There is a transparency to the wine that is beguiling. Once again, the finish is eternal. Sorė Tildin is one of GAJA's more nuanced wines, and in 2007, it is breathtakingly beautiful."

Sperss
2006 "97 points. The first thing I noticed about the 2006 Langhe Sperss is the finish, which literally lasts an eternity. The wine seems to hover on the palate with an ethereal expression of dark fruit, smoke, licorice, tar and menthol, all of which are backed up with substantial heft and sheer muscle. This is a marvelous effort from GAJA and will appeal most to readers with a preference for sturdy, age-worthy wines."

Conteisa
2006 "94 points. The 2006 Langhe Conteisa is a beautifully firm, transparent wine endowed with expressive red fruits, menthol, flowers and licorice..shows tons of harmony, length and class.
The finish is utterly seductive. "

Darmagi
2006 "92 points. The 2006 Langhe Darmagi...is dark, massive and imposing, while perfumed varietal notes add considerable complexity. A muscular core of blackberries, blueberries, graphite, grilled herbs, roasted coffee beans and French oak emerges with notable density. The tannins are firm yet impeccable, while the wine's balance is first-class. "
