The first thing I noticed about the 2006 Langhe Sperss is the finish, which literally lasts an eternity. It, too, is more overtly structured, powerful and less fruit-forward than the 2007, but its focus and drive are commendable. The wine seems to hover on the palate with an ethereal expression of dark fruit, smoke, licorice, tar and menthol, all of which are backed up with substantial heft and sheer muscle. This is a marvelous effort from Gaja and will appeal most to readers with a preference for sturdy, age-worthy wines.

Fein, elegant und sehr charmant ist der Barbaresco Asili. (superiore.de) This is delicate at first, but then turns to a solid, tannic and structured red, with loads of plum and light toasty oak. It's all on the finish. Give this time to show what it has. Wine Spectator

Superb der Brunello Cerretalto '00, ein Gewächs von einer im Westen Montalcinos gelegenen historischen Spitzenlage des Betriebes, aus dessen Duftfülle neben würzigen Akzenten vor allem Aromen von Weichsel- und Brombeermarmelade hervorstechen. Der tadellose Geschmack imponiert mit seiner dynamischen und gewichtigen Art, dem dichten Tanninkorsett mit guter Stützwirkung, der insbesondere des Jahrganges respektablen Säure und einem Abgang erster Güte. Gambero Rosso

Pianrosso 2007 ist ein frischer, geradliniger Brunello. Im Bouquet nach dunklen roten Früchte, Blumen und Gewürzen. Tiefe und Kraft am Gaumen, intensiv bis ins anhaltende Finale. Ein großer Wein mit extrovertiertem Charakter. (superiore.de) Complex aromas of red fruits, flowers and fresh mushrooms follow through to a full body, with ultra-fine tannins and intense fruit and bright acidity. Goes on for a long, long time. So juicy and fruity. Hints of bitter lemon rind. Give this two or three years more of bottle age. James Suckling

The estate’,s 2009 Tenuta di Trinoro presents exotic notes of wild cherries, plums, spices, minerals and licorice all of which come together on a silky, polished frame. Smoke, incense and a host of other seductive, beguiling aromas and flavors add complexity as they wrap around the seriously intense finish. The 2009 Tenuta shows off marvelous intensity and a full-throttle personality while retaining a touch more freshness than is sometimes the case. Robert Parker

The 2004 Brunello di Montalcino 'PS' has put on quite a bit of weight since I tasted it last year, but it remains more delicate and less imposing than the 2004 Brunello. The richly textured, vivid Brunello di Montalcino 'PS' jumps from the glass with seamless layers of fruit. Impeccable and refined throughout, the wine offers extraordinary balance and elegance. Sweet mentholated notes add further complexity to the fruit, as the wine gains a measure of volume and depth that carries through to the refined, silky finish. Robert Parker A new wine from the master of Brunello. Wine Spectator ... schlägt wie ein Pfau ein prachtvolles Rad. Falstaff
