Noteringar:
2008-05-27 10:46 WS: Aromas of dried fruit, smoky wood and hints of red licorice. Full-bodied, with lots of jammy fruit and a long, soft finish. Big and juicy. This needs time. Best after 2009. 1,110 cases made. –JS
2008-05-27 10:47 WA: The 2001 Brunellos show the pedigree of the superior vintage. Gaja’s 2001 Brunello di Montalcino Sugarille is the more potent of the Brunellos. It displays a darker color along with notes of tar, smoke, spices, toasted oak and dark fruit on a full-bodied frame with terrific expansiveness and length on the palate. A lingering note of licorice frames the finish of this beautiful, deeply expressive Brunello. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2021. Importer: Paterno Imports, Lake Bluff, IL; tel. (847) 604-8900
2008-05-27 10:47 IWC: By Stephen Tanzer Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, Jul/Aug 06 ($139) Bright dark red. Highly perfumed aromas of red berries, red cherry, flowers, minerals, gunflint, leather, graphite and spices. Suave, deeply spicy and penetrating, with terrific extract and intensity to the juicy, pure red berry flavors. This compelling Brunello offers a silky texture, superb intensity and captivating inner-mouth perfume, finishing with compelling sweetness of tannins and outstanding breadth and length. Suavissimo! (Incidentally, I very much enjoyed the Rennina bottling as well, with its aromas and flavors of raspberry, minerals and spices; ripe, harmonious acidity; and dry, firm-edged finish. After scoring this wine 92 points, I realized that it was the 2000 vintage that had been sent from Italy!) (Paterno Wines International, Lake Bluff, IL) 95(+?) points
