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.

Thin body and not much complexity for a Brunello or a Gaja. Shame.

2007 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.

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

Amazing wine. Berry tones. Smells beautiful. Red to yellowish color. Vanilla smells from the oak. Very easy to drink

Old 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.
