1997 Gaja Langhe Darmagi
First time trying the Cabernet from Gaja. Super rich nose, with leafy, tobacco, licorice and strong blackberry. Smooth, strong structure with reasonable finish. Powerful wine, and very different from Gaja's Barolos and Barbarescos, but very enjoyable. Tannins well dissolved. Probably about right time to drink it now.
Darmagi means "What a pity"? since they converted the vineyard from Nebbiollo in 1978?
