...absolutely delicious. Dark red cherries, plums, mint, smoke, tobacco & licorice... notable depth, structure & power... quite polished, yet there is a level of inner sweetness & perfume... precise, delicate finish is a thing of beauty.
Dark spice & dried cherry... may be the best base Brunello I have tasted from La Gerla... finely etched tones of grilled Mediterranean herb, ash & dried ginger... This lovely wine also exhibits silky, long tannins on the smooth finish.
Cherry and raspberry fruit meets wild herb, eucalyptus and underbrush aromas and flavors in this dense, muscular red. All the elements are there, but this needs time to integrate. The fresh finish is long, echoing woodsy tobacco notes.
Aromas of dried chili and salt with hints of oyster shell. Dried berry and cherry. Sweet cherry. Full body, chewy and very intense, very dried fruit character. Opens to a beautifully silky textured finish.
