The 2004 Costa Russi is deep, dense and wonderfully layered throughout. Usually the most accessible of Gaja's three single-vineyard wines from Barbaresco, the Costa Russi has more than enough tannin and overall structure to continue to drink well for another 15-20 years, perhaps longer. A sensual, open-knit wine, the 2004 Costa Russi is dazzling today. Score: 97 Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com Maturity: 2015-2034 01 June 2016 |

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. Score: 95 Antonio Galloni, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2009-2024 01 October 2007 |

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. 1,000 cases made. Score: 97 James Suckling, Wine Spectator 15 December 2007 |
