Description
94 points and ‘Top 100 Wine of 2011 (#21),’ Wine Enthusiast: “La Gerla offers a spectacular Brunello that hits all the right marks in terms of intensity, beauty and staying power. This is an opulent and rich wine with plump blueberry flavors followed by chocolate fudge and sweet exotic spice. You can either cellar it or enjoy it within the next few years. (Apr 2011)”
92 points James Suckling: “Aromas of licorice and blackberries follow through to a full body, with silky tannins and a fruity finish. This is a refined and silky young wine. Give it two to three years of bottle age. (1/15/11)”
17/20 points Stephen Brook (The World of Fine Wine): “(14% ABV) Discreet black-cherry nose, with an appealing herbal tang. Sleek attack, poised, with good concentration and ripe tannins. Plenty of vigor and spice here, though not quite the persistence of flavor that the attack promises. An appealing, fleshy, and well-balanced Brunello that somehow doesn’t quite scale the heights. Long chewy finish. (Issue #33; 2011)”
