The full-bodied 1988 Costa Russi reveals a purple tinge to its color, as well as a straightforward, rich nose of black fruits and new oak. At present it is more monolithic than the other single vineyard Barbarescos. All of Gaja's 1988 Barbarescos are backward, reserved wines. Even after sitting four days with the corks pulled they exhibited no signs of oxidation. While they should be uncommonly long-lived, I did not see quite the flesh and richness possessed by such vintages as 1985 and 1982. Importer: Vinifera Imports, Ronkonkoma, NY.

Fabulous wine, especially for the vintage. Solid, thick and youthful. Aromas of plum, flowers and licorice. Full-bodied, with silky, fine tannins and a long, long finish. Lovely now, but better later.--Piedmont retrospective. Best after 2003. 820 cases made.??–JS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barbaresco Select to Add
