and more concentrated

Almost syrah-like nose that stop just short of being overripe with dense and intense black fruit plus an odd burnt orange peel aroma

This wine is absolutely singing

Gaja, Costa Russi 1988 Dessert and more concentrated2. 0cm; Heavily damp stained and nicked label 93 Points CellarTracker Member Mostly 71 and 74 Nebbiolo (Baltimore, Maryland): Caramel, very sweet but the fruit is muted. Excellent concentration. With time, coffee, caramel and tobacco. The oak note dissipated a bit but was present throughout. We served this to a couple none nebbiolo guys and they loved it. Impressive scale but the fruit is masked by oak. 5 13 2011 95 points Wine Spectator Terrific
