Tasting notes
1995 tends to be a good rather than great vintage in Piedmont, but Gaja's sensational 1995s are among the stars of the vintage. This wine possesses extremely saturated dark ruby/purple colors, almost atypical for Nebbiolo. The 1995 Darmaggi Cabernet Sauvignon is an elegant wine with medium body, classic weedy tobacco and cassis flavors, sweet, supple tannin, and excellent equilibrium. Anticipated maturity: 2003-2018. Importer: Vinifera Imports, Ronkonkoma, NY; tel. (516) 467-5907
