Dark cherry and lavender build with impressive density and grip. The Costa Russi shows classic structure beneath its early charm. Firm tannins anchor waves of kirsch, cedar and dried roses. Rich mid-palate sweetness provides immediate pleasure, yet this has the backbone for serious aging. A compelling marriage of power and elegance.
