Barbaresco, Costa Russi--Vintage 1996
Piedmont, Gaja
In original wooden case
"The 1996 Barbaresco Costa Russi could pass for a terrific grand cru red burgundy given its undeniable fragrance of raspberries, violets, and toast. Full-bodied, with sensational fruit intensity and purity, this large-scale, meaty, fleshy wine reveals considerable tannin in its stunning finish. Compellingly rich and more internationally styled, it is an impressive effort." Robert Parker, Parker's Wine Buying Guide, Fifth Edition, 1999
