Gaja, Darmagi Vintage:2017 Tastes as though it hasn’tThe 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.
