I had high expectations for the new wines from Daphne Glorian

The wine is powerful

Gaja’s wines are often immensely appealing when young – which is certainly the case with the 2007s – but then close down in bottle for a number of years

black and blue fruit profile easily

but in 2000 the fruit has enough intensity to nearly cover the tannins

Angludet Size:6x1.5L I had high expectations forA sleeper of the vintage, this 2005 seems to be close to its plateau of maturity. It exhibits a dense ruby plum purple color, wonderfully sweet and silky tannins, loads of blackcurrant and floral infused fruit, medium body and a long, layered, elegant and pure personality. It is drinking quite well and exhibiting no reason to extend its aging. This wine should continue to offer gorgeous and good value drinking for another decade.
