Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
This wine rocked my world. The Gaja 2021 Langhe Darmagi is Cabernet Sauvignon from 3.5 hectares of vines planted in 1978. The first vintage made was 1982. Despite the ongoing battle with Esca disease, this is definitely one of the best, if not THE best, vintage made. 'It's a Cabernet that speaks in the Piedmontese dialect,' says Rossana Gaja. Her family has long experience with this grape both in Piedmont and in Bolgheri, Tuscany, where it is featured at the family's Ca' Marcanda estate. I love the luscious, compact richness of the wine that feels virtually seamless to the senses. There is generous black fruit with smoke, ash and spice over an elegant full-bodied texture and chalky tannins.

Description
Gaja Darmagi comes from a vineyard planted in 1978, being a tribute by Angelo Gaja to the prestigious Cabernet Sauvignon variety, and a clear sign of Langhe's peculiar expression in wines, even of non-traditional varieties.
Fermentation and maceration last about three weeks, followed by ageing in oak for 24 months.
Taste
Gaja Darmagi is a wine that reveals a broad bouquet that unfolds gradually. It shows notes of cassis and quince, followed by tamarind and a fresh vegetal hint of tomato leaf on the finish. On the palate, it is velvety and juicy, with notes of blackcurrant and fresh plum leading to a spicy finish, such as black pepper and cloves.
