de Montille, Corton Pougets other_regions_australia Gaja's 2008 Brunello di Montalcino

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

Suave red and dark berry flavors are complicated and deepened by exotic spicecake and sweet licorice

The 2016 Barolo Mosconi is a gorgeous wine made all the more remarkable given that Mosconi can't really be said to be a top-level site

I imagine it will reward readers lucky enough to own it with several decades of exceptional drinking

wet stone and a touch of the sauvage

de Montille, Corton Pougets other_regions_australia Gaja's 2008 Brunello di MontalcinoA nose of primarily red raspberry aromas with background notes of cranberry, orange peel and earth leads to round, intense and pure medium full flavors that are decidedly finer than most examples of Corton, all wrapped in a linear, direct and vibrant finish of admirable length. As Pougets usually is, this is based more on minerality and finesse than power with an understated and reserved character. (91 93) 2015+
