The balsamic signature is particularly beautiful and elegant

citrus filled finish

but this characterization is relative considering the ample power and depth always associated with this site

Champonnets is always better in very warm and/or hot vintages and 2018 is a fine example of that

Gaja, Darmagi other_regions_australia The balsamic signature is particularlyThe 2016 Darmagi (Cabernet Sauvignon) is classy and polished, with good varietal character and impeccable balance. Crme de cassis, menthol, licorice and lavender all develop in the glass in this unctuous yet mid weight, wonderfully expressive, Cabernet Sauvignon. Darmagi will never be a truly great Cabernet Sauvignon, but it is a very fine Gaja wine that reaches this level because of Angelo Gaja's iron clad will and determination to make it so.
