"The wine press seems to have lost interest in Gaja's Cabernet Sauvignon but the 1999 Darmagi is the finest since the duo made in 1988 and 1989. A deep inky ruby with black berry fruit light herbs and sweet oak it is currently slightly closed up and austere but with a brooding authority which promises well for the future. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2025." 91 Points Wine Advocate
