Nose smelled very corky. Dried cherry, dusty black cherry, and orange peel on the palate. Leather, lithe tannins, raspberry, earth, and a little more cork on the finish. Seems like it would have been nice if it wasn't corked but this was my last bottle.

Popped and poured half the bottle on night one and finished the rest the following night. I liked the round tannins but it was a bit porty with new world notes. The wine held its shape overnight but overall impression remained the same. Maybe the regular Gerla BdM suits my palate better. Based on this bottle I am not sure if this is a long ager...

Delicious strawberry blackberry long finish. No decant breathed over 3 hours while eating Ceaser salad with anchovy and linguini fruiti de mar

Unusually strong nose of cinnamon, mace, summer savory and cola. Sweet black plum and cherry fruit starts the finish, adding blackberry notes, complex spice layers, and leather. Chewy tannins with sour cherry an a cedar box flavor that also manages to express sournesss before chalky oak takes over. Interesting Brunello that we had a hard time pinning down in terms of description.
