Lobenberg: Von den Jahrgängen 1996 bis 2011 waren circa 5% Barbera im Cuvée und da für die Barbaresco DOCG 100 Prozent Nebbiolo vorgeschrieben sind wurde der Costa Russi für diese Zeit ebenso wie Gajas andere Einzellagen unter der Langhe Nebbiolo DOC abgefüllt. Seit dem Jahrgang 2013 ist er wieder reiner Nebbiolo und unter Barbaresco DOCG. Für 12 Monate im Barrique und anschließend weitere 12 Monate im großen Holzfass ausgebaut. Reife Schwarzkirsche, Brombeere und Zwetschge. Darunter ist eine unglaublich feine Würze. Ein Hauch Vanille, ein Hauch Pfeffer und dann ein Potpourri an duftigen Blüten. Das ist Verführung pur! Im Mund sind die Tannine fein poliert, aber auch strukturiert, denn es gibt reichlich davon. Dieser Wein hat das Zeug lange zu reifen, dabei ist er aber heute schon oh so sinnlich. Großartig! 96-97/100

Suckling über: Barbaresco Costa Russi

-- Suckling: A pretty red with ripe-cherry, strawberry and floral aromas and flavors. It’s full-bodied and very tight with a creamy, polished palate that goes on for minutes. Very fine and polished tannins. Give this two or three years to come more together. Better after 2022. 96/100

Parker über: Barbaresco Costa Russi

-- Parker: In terms of production numbers, this is one of the smallest vintages we've seen from the Costa Russi vineyard. Thanks to replanting efforts, about half of the old vines were ripped out in 2017 (compared to the 2016 vintage that made 10,000 bottles with the whole vineyard in production). The Gaja 2017 Barbaresco Costa Russi offers a warmer and softer character compared to Sorì San Lorenzo and Sorì Tildìn. Overall, the wine is richer and more textured. I definitely taste the vintage heat with its slightly sweeter and more accessible tones of cherry, cassis and fragrant blue flower. Costa Russi is usually defined by lifted notes of aniseed and sambuco, and you get those here too, although they are a less pronounced in this vintage. This is a balanced and carefully assembled Barbaresco with a lean approach backed by fine tannins and bright acidity. 95/100

Wine Spectator über: Barbaresco Costa Russi

-- Wine Spectator: A dense and very tightly wound style, with the structure offering a firm grip on the well-defined core of rose, cherry, strawberry and currant flavors. Long and resonant on the finish, with an aftertaste of mineral, tobacco and earth. Best from 2023 through 2043. 95/100

Jeb Dunnuck über: Barbaresco Costa Russi

-- Jeb Dunnuck: Falling in between the Sori Tildin and Sori San Lorenzo stylistically, the 2017 Barbaresco Costa Russi offers a ripe bouquet of mulled cherry and blackberry fruits intermixed with lots of balsamic, licorice, loamy soil, dried spices, and a touch of asphalt. This carries to a medium to full-bodied, elegant Barbaresco with broad, mouth-coating tannins, a solid core of acidity, and a great finish. As with all of these wines, it need lots of air to shed some austerity and pick up more sweetness in its tannins (which can be common for hot vintages) and is going to benefit from 4-6 years of bottle age and have two decades of prime drinking. 94/100
