| Tasting Note | Wine Advocate (eRobert Parker by Neal Martin) 92/100 - Vintage 2006 The 2006 Langhe Costa Russi is a bit reticent at first, and two of the three bottles I tasted showed elements of reduction that eventually blew off. A gorgeous center of soft perfumed fruit lies behind the slightly unfocused bouquet. The wine reveals notable clarity and detail once it opens up in the glass, with dark cherries, flowers and minerals that linger on the finish. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2031. Wine Spectator 92/100 - Vintage 2006 - Tasted: 30-Sep-2009 Shows lovely aromas of rose and berries, with hints of cream. Full-bodied, with a beautiful core of ripe fruit and velvety tannins. Balanced and very pretty. Long. Best after 2012. Wine Enthusiast 95/100 - Vintage 2006 - Tasted: 05-Jan-2011 Purchased by the Gaja family in 1967, the Costa Russi vineyard produces elegant expressions of Nebbiolo with beautifully saturated, sun-drenched flavors. Indeed, this vintage shows wild berry with beautiful background renderings of smoke and graphite. Five percent Barbera is added and the wine shows amazing harmony and sophistication with bright acidity and firm tannins. It will only become more beautiful in time. Other Critics Rating : Vinous Antonio Galloni 93/100 - Vintage 2006 - Tasted: 01-Nov-2009 The Wine Front 94/100 - Vintage 2006 Stephen Tanzer 93/100 - Vintage 2006 Shows an elegant, fruity character and velvety from the early years of age. Intriguing fragrance and great class with well-blended flavors of blackberries, violets and roasted; full body with great concentration and purity; a powerful wine with a deep rich tannic structure and great persistence. |
