It's been awhile since I've posted but maybe New Year's Eve can be a new start. More fruit than expected but, boy, the tannins were still gripping. Nice to be back.

Jan 1st, 2017Thin body and not much complexity for a Brunello or a Gaja. Shame.

Jul 13th, 20132007 vintage.
Black cherry, leather, black tea, plum and mushroom.
Tannins are well developed and acidity is still crisp on the finish.
Beautiful with Wagyu beef.

Dec 26th, 2024Drank from magnum. A bit modern in style, as expected from Gaia. Dark fruit and cherries with smooth tannins. Vanilla on the nose.

Jul 8th, 2014Old cherry red color of medium density and good brilliancy. I could not decant it properly, thus it is tight, and some cherry liquour and sawdust aromas come through, and also a little bit of heat. Really beautiful performance of this wine in the palate, the way it unfolds. It shows incredible complexity and harmony among its many flavors. I am loving this wine. A jewel! 94 pts.
