Scores

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.
Robert Parker

Tasting Notes

(95% Nebbiolo, 5% Barbera) Really deep in colour, with a floral dogrose nose overlaid with white pepper notes. Rich, dry and creamy entry, pure coulis red and blackberry fruits and intensely mineral. Beautifully structured with ripe, grainy tannins, rapier like acidity and kernel of tar and assam tea flavours. Lovely licquorice touches emerge on the middle palate. A seamless, pure fine wine of outstanding vitality and length of flavour. Needs 10-20 years.
