    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note
    Gaja, Barbaresco, Costa Russi, 2001

    Generous ripe black spicy fruits with shades of cinnamon, underpinned by a silky tannic structure. There is plenty of backbone and fresh acidity giving this wine focus and vitality, a very refined Nebbiolo of breeding and stature.

    ABV:
    14%
    94/100

    The 2001 Costa Russi is classy and gracious. Sweet dark berries, flowers, spices and licorice are woven together beautifully in this supple Costa Russi. The tannins could use more bottle age to soften further, but the Costa Russi is hugely attractive even today. Sweet tobacco, spices and crushed flowers linger in the empty glass.
