| Tasting Note | RP 90/100 (Vintage 2004) Varietal Cabernet Sauvignon aromas and flavors take a back seat to a plump, jammy expression of fruit in the 2004 Darmagi. Made in a very Piedmontese style, it seems to have more in common with Barbera than Cabernet, an impression which is reinforced the more it sits in the glass. This perfumed wine is bursting with pure, clean, well-delineated fruit. It is a lovely effort, yet readers expecting a more representative example of Cabernet Sauvignon will probably be happier looking elsewhere, as this is a very unusual Darmagi. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2024. WS 91/100 This is dark, rich and very silky. Full-bodied, with ripe tannins and a long, caressing finish. Well-crafted and extremely pretty. Always one of the best Cabernet Sauvignons from the Langhe. Stephen Tanzer 93/100; Falstaff Magazin 93/100 |
