"Aromas of espresso, clove and licorice mingle with balsamic notes of camphor. Elegantly structured, the focused, linear palate offers dried cherry, blood orange and star anise framed in firm, close-grained tannins that grip the finish. Drink after 2026. Kerin O?Keefe"

"Rich, flint ruby with a fine garnet edge. Compact nose with notes of ripe raspberry and plum, behind it cold smoke and leather. Juicy ripe fruit on the palate, much gripping tannin, in addition sweet texture, firm drive on the finish."

"Showing the heat of the vintage, this has subdued aromas suggesting mature black-skinned berry marinated in spirits along with whiffs of dried herb, scorched earth, coconut and balsamic whiffs of camphor. The full-bodied palate is rather shy on fruit richness, featuring dried black cherry, French oak, vanilla and licorice alongside the warmth of evident alcohol. Close-grained tannins leave a firm, mouthdrying finish. Give the tannins a few years to unwind then drink sooner rather than later to capture the remaining fruit. Kerin O?Keefe"

"Rich ruby with a light garnet shimmer. Rich and intense nose of plums and blackberries, some liquorice. Plucky and powerful in the approach, opens with vivid, dense tannin, firm drive at the end."

"This perfumed Brunello offers enticing scents of pressed violet, rose, talcum powder, wild berry, eucalyptus and a whiff of exotic spice. On the structured palate, firm fine-grained tannins provide support for dried black cherry, licorice, vanilla and a hint of espresso. Drink from 2023 through 2033."

"Subtle aromas of sunbaked earth, toast, French oak and chopped herb slowly emerge in the glass. The aromas carry over to the round robust palate along with raspberry jam, dried black cherry, licorice and baking spice while velvety tannins lend finesse. You'll also detect the warmth of alcohol on the close. Drink 2018?2023."

"Angelo Gaja´s Interpretation von Sangiovese: Fein gebautes Bouquet nach schwarzen Johannisbeeren, Flieder, auch Noten von Bitterschokolade und Lakritze; im Mund kernig, die Tannine robust, hat viel Charakter und eine grosse Länge. Wie aus einem Guss, optimal ausbalanziert."

"This estate, owned by Angelo Gaja, makes two expressions of Brunello. The 2008 Sugarille shows sharp acidity, but this wine offers more balance and harmony overall. It opens with beautiful floral tones of pressed violets and wild berry fruit while unfolding oak-driven aromas of spice and chocolate in a more subdued manner."

"Angelo Gaja´s Interpretation eines Brunello (neben dem Sugarille): Die Balance von Fruchtigkeit, Würze, Kernigkeit und Fülle beeindruckt, das Finale bleibt trotzdem frisch. Gut gearbeiteter , moderner Wein, der sich noch etwas abrunden muss."

"Put this beautiful Brunello in your cellar for at least 10?15 more years. Rennina opens with bold oak and cherry tones (that need more time to integrate), followed by plump, rich blackberry flavors, chocolate, leather and dark spice. It's a wine characterized by impressive density and opulence."

"Brilliant ruby colour with garnet-red highlights. Powerful, warm nose opening up to aromas of cooked plum with a pleasant balsamic note of pine. The palate is simultaneously rich, full, concentrated and fresh. An elegant wine with great character."

17 of 20 Points.
"Vinum Wine Magazine" has rated the wine "Gaja Pieve Santa Restituta Rennina" from the vintage 2006 on 01.06.2011 with 17 of 20 points.
"Angelo Gaja beweist wieder einmal, dass er nicht nur von Nebbiolo etwas versteht: Zurückhaltendes Bouquet, mit der Belüftung ungemein einladende Noten von Cassis, von Leder und Gewürzen; am Gaumen frisch, die Tannine rassig und gut eingebunden, die Säure lebendig, überzeugend die Präzision, endet auf Noten von eingelegten Kirschen und Tabak. Muss noch reifen."

"Elegance, finesse and deeply layered nuances are this Brunello's strongest suits. The aromas are tightly etched: The mineral tones are exact and fine, the fruit is fleshly and cushioned by tones of moist tobacco and earth. The menthol notes are divine and penetrating: A beautiful, vineyard-designate wine from Angelo Gaja."

"Doesn't seem that concentrated at first, but builds powerfully on the finish, giving it good promise for the future. Combines ripe cherries, tobacco and leather with a silky mouthfeel in a classic Brunello style, finishing with firm tannins. Try in 2008."
