The 2005 Gago was aged in a combination of large oak and new French barriques for one year. It delivers greater aromatic complexity with aromas of cedar, spice box, violets, espresso, and black cherry jumping from the glass. On the palate it has plenty of spicy, savory fruit, excellent grip, good intensity, and a lengthy, pure finish. It has enough structure to evolve for 3-4 years and will be at its best from 2012 to 2020.
