This had been opened all day and was holding strong well; with aromas of dark cherry, dried plum, fig, orange rind, nutmeg, anise, sweet tobacco and warm earth. Structured with good depth, enveloping the 15% well, drink now or hold on for a few more and eat with wild boar ragu

Brunello with balls! 15% alcohol. Savoury with power. Excellent.

Balastic Brunello! Incredibly savoury intense wine. Meaty yumminess. Just holding it's balance at 15% Alcohol. Raising the challenges climate change poise in both Brunello and Barbaresco. The natural yeast are starting to struggle to ferment the sugars & manufactured yeasts are starting to become necessary.The Gaja cellars in Brunello rest in a Church built in the 300's! Yes, that's right almost 1800 years old! #FilthyGoodVino #Brunello #Gaja #GaiaGaja #Rennina #Sangiovese #Montalcino #PieveSantaRestituta

Delicious. Clay color. 3 hour decant. Elegant but brooding and good gripe to it. Cherry cola. Great wine

Opened at 7pm. Began drinking at 930. Paired with porterhouse and mushrooms. Wow.

Wine dinner. Bottle
#8 and the burgundy fans loved it. Phew. Had great complexity and cherry flavor. Was singing.

Fairly elegant and complex. Kept getting better with more airtime. Perfect cork came out clean. Enjoyed this quite a bit.

Not at same level as the ‘17 poggio di sotto from the other night but good wine
