Tasting notes
Consistently one of the reference points for Italian wines, Angelo Gaja has fashioned some spectacular new releases. The 1990 Gaia & Rey Chardonnay is a blockbuster Chardonnay by any standards. A huge buttery, floral, smoky nose is followed by a viscous, super-rich, multi-layered Chardonnay that has more in common with a grand cru from Burgundy's Chassagne-Montrachet than an Italian Chardonnay. While delicious now, it should last for another 2-3 years. As evidenced by these wines, Gaja continues to demonstrate his winemaking genius. Importer: Vinifera Imports, Ronkonkoma, NY.
