Gaja
Pieve Santa Restituta Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese
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, 2013Drank from magnum. A bit modern in style, as expected from Gaia. Dark fruit and cherries with smooth tannins. Vanilla on the nose.

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.
