Gaja, Langhe Costa Russi, 2001 (3L)
Angelo Gaja is Italy's most celebrated winemaker, and Costa Russi is his single-vineyard statement from Barbaresco. The 2001 sits comfortably in its drinking window: darker and richer than many Gaja Barbarescos, with notes of coffee, vanilla, and toast alongside bright cherry-raspberry fruit. What makes it compelling is the balance—velvety tannins and lush texture don't mask complexity, and the wine tastes classy and gracious, with flowers, spices, and licorice threading through. A 3L double magnum for serious collectors and serious dinners.
