This consignor became interested in wine after attending a Burgundy tasting in 2005, completely baffled by how different the wines were. They have been a casual collector ever since, sourcing most of their bottles in Alberta, along with some from the SAQ. All bottles were acquired directly from importers, and have been stored in one of their two Eurocaves.
2021 Gaja Darmagi Langhe DOC from this lot has the following scores - 97+. This is the tasting note for 2021 Gaja Darmagi Langhe DOC from Robert Parker - This wine rocked my world. The Gaja 2021 Langhe Darmagi is Cabernet Sauvignon from 3.5 hectares of vines planted in 1978. The first vintage made was 1982. Despite the ongoing battle with Esca disease, this is definitely one of the best, if not THE best, vintage made. "It's a Cabernet that speaks in the Piedmontese dialect," says Rossana Gaja. Her family has long experience with this grape both in Piedmont and in Bolgheri, Tuscany, where it is featured at the family's Ca' Marcanda estate. I love the luscious, compact richness of the wine that feels virtually seamless to the senses. There is generous black fruit with smoke, ash and spice over an elegant full-bodied texture and chalky tannins.
