The 2015 Barbaresco Gaiun is dense powerful and also very much closed in on itself. Gaiun has a track record of blossoming beautifully with time in bottle. I suspect that will be the case here as well but readers will have to be patient. Time in the glass brings out kirsch mint blood orange spice and star anise all in a dense packed Barbaresco nicely framed by French oak 1/3rd of which is new. The 2015 is a gorgeous Gaiun that very much reflects the powerful rich expression of Barbaresco that seems to come so easily here.
vThe Tenute Cisa Asinari dei Marchesi di Gresy portfolio of wines from 2015 is very impressive and the 2015 Barbaresco Gaiun Martinenga is yet another beautiful new release from this estate. This wine shows fine texture and contours yet it is rock solid and firm at its inner core. That solid frame gives support to the many pretty floral fruity and balsam spice aromas that rise to the top of the bouquet with such natural grace.
