Gaja Darmagi 2013
Red
Barbaresco, Italy
7.5
WineSaint
Polished and precise, with cassis, espresso and cedar flowing through a medium-bodied frame. The tannins are supple, the oak well-integrated, yet something feels borrowed rather than born of place. Technically sound but lacks the soul that makes great wine essential. Drink 2020-2028.
