Gaja's 2008 Brunello di Montalcino Rennina jumps from the glass with vibrant aromas and flavors

this should improve as it fills out

the 2014 Proprietary Red needs a little coaxing to reveal slowly unfurling notions of warm black cherries

where the wines remain for a few months

deeply moving Barolo that represents another time at Conterno

Drouhin Laroze, Musigny Size:12x750ml Gaja's 2008 Brunello di MontalcinoStrong oak spice cannot hide the magnificently expressive black fruit aromas or the sweet, sappy, deep, broad and fantastically complex flavors that completely stain and coat the palate on the incredibly long finish. This is oaky stuff today but its impressively stylish all the same and the underlying material is so good that this should harmonize with time.
