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. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2037. - Antonio Galloni

Very supple, this red oozes seduction and class. Cherry, raspberry, violet and spice flavors are accented by licorice and mineral notes. An intense wine, but always shows tension and focus. There's a firm structure for support, and this is almost racy on the long mineral aftertaste. Best from 2014 through 2035. 80 cases imported. –BS
