Gaja - Barbaresco Costa Russi 2021 (3L)
Jeb Dunnuck: 98 Points
The 2021 Barbaresco Costa Russi is a jeweled ruby color and is bright with fresh herbs, mint, cherries, thyme, and freshly dried earth. It has good volume and ripe structure on the palate and is long and cooling, with a note of fresh lavender. It also has a great, mouthwatering mineral tone with a more linear feel, but it’s powerful at the same time, with the sanguine and ripe blood orange notes that are shared across the vintage. It needs time, but wow, is it worth snapping up!.

Enticingly fragrant, the captivating 2021 Costa Russi has beautiful aromas of rose, violet, wild berry and crushed Alpine herb. Elegantly structured, the enticing, vibrant palate boasts succulent red berry, blood orange, white pepper, cake spice and mint alongside taut, polished tannins. Bright acidity keeps it balanced and energized. An absolute stunner.

This is so aromatic, with nutmeg, white pepper, matchstick, flint, bramble berries, blackberries and iodine. Medium-bodied with sleek and flexed tannins that give form and raciness. Spicy at the end. Shows excellent potential. Give this three to four years to open
