Beautiful wine. More of a brooding style of BDM with dark fruits pushing through that handle the acidity and tannic structure of the wine incredibly well. Tertiary notes are starting to come through but this should really hit its stride in 3-5 years time.

Recent purchase and my second Gaja BdM. Liked this one much more than the previous 2012 vintage I tried. Opened the bottle about 3 hr before drinking. Smooth but with very present tannins. This had more dark fruit than recent BdM I've drank. cherry, leather, tobacco, earthy notes, blackberry, black cherry, violet. Alot of life still in this wine.

Nice, fully developed Brunello. Decanted about 30 minutes before serving. Good with Pasta alla Norma. Not sure time will improve this much more...
