Gaja
Barbaresco, Costa Russi, 2007
justerini & brooks tasting note
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.

98/100Antonio Galloni,Vinous
The 2007 Langhe Costa Russi combines richness and focus to a degree that has seldom been seen here. This insanely beautiful wine boasts a breathtaking bouquet, explosive, generous fruit and an absolutely eternal finish. Layers of dark red fruit, minerals, flowers and spices saturate every corner of the palate as this mind-blowing Costa Russi struts its stuff. This is a towering effort from Angelo Gaja. The wine should be accessible fairly early and age for decades.
