Complex, fresh aromas of concentrated blackberry, grilled meat and chocolate.
Full-bodied and chewy, with caressing tannins and a long, long finish. A brick house
and beautifully decorated. Powerful. Best after 2012 97 points
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, October
2007
The 2004 Costa Russi is irresistibly sexy and opulent. As is typically the
case, the wine is more overtly fruit-driven, with a round, supple personality. Sweet,
long and richly-textured, it is just plain awesome in its display of generous, vibrant
fruit, tar, smoke, minerals and herbs. It is the finest Costa Russi yet. Anticipated
maturity: 2009-2024. Angelo Gaja and long-time oenologist Guido Rivella produced
some of the most monumental wines of their long, storied partnership in 2004.95
