Antonio Galloni - Wine Advocate
The 2004 Brunello di Montalcino Rennina is gorgeous
in this vintage. Medium in body, the wine offers up attractive scents
of underbrush, red cherries, tobacco, leather and licorice, all
of which are framed by silky, ripe tannins. The wine reveals tons
of purity and class in an understated style. As is often the case,
the Rennina is the more feminine of the estate’s Brunellos.
Anticipated maturity: '09 - '22.
Angelo Gaja’s wines from Montalcino seem to get far less attention
than his wines from Piedmont and Maremma, but they can equally compelling.
Gaja did not produce his Brunellos in '02 or '03 which demonstrates
his commitment to putting only the finest juice in the bottle. |
