Gaja Pieve Santa Restituta Sugarille 2007 Bottle size: 750ml
Italy, Tuscany
R3,500
'The 2007 Brunello di Montalcino Sugarille is dazzling. Dark fruit, tar, licorice and smoke come to life in this dramatic, large-scaled Brunello. The 2007 boasts incredible intensity and power all the way through to the palate-staining finish. Today the tannins are big and imposing, but they should start settling down as the wine approaches its tenth birthday. I saw the wine shut down quickly in the glass, which is an excellent sign for its potential longevity. This is a flat-out gorgeous bottle of wine. Anticipated maturity: 2017-2027' (Tasted in 2012) - Antonio Galloni, Wine Advocate, 96/100
'Aromas of dried berries and chocolate follow through to a full body, with velvety tannins and a lot of fruit. Balanced and delicious. Impressive wine that shows superb depth of fruit. Gaja' - James Suckling, jamessuckling.com, 95/100
'Bold and elegant at the same time. Packs a powerful punch in a silk glove. Intense aromas of ripe fruit, spice, cherry liqueur, cola, dried sage and cigar box. The mouthfeel is pristine and structured, with a precise, tonic and streamlined impact.' - Wine Enthusiast, 94/100
