La Gerla Description
Intense ruby verging on garnet. Soft, warm and velvety, harmonic, rich in fruits and persistent in the mouth. Intense, ethereal melting into scents of sweet violet and iris, with hints of spices such as tobacco, cinnamon and leather.
Great food pairings include red meats, preferably wild game; to serve, store sideways at room temperature at least 24 hours beforehand, cork two hours in advance, decant and serve in decanter.
Wine Advocate: 93 Points
Silky and polished, offering a nice perspective on a vintage that was not always easy to navigate. This wine manages smooth integration with none of the rougher spots that can sometimes occur in hot and dry growing seasons. The bouquet shows nuanced detail with wild berry, forest floor, grilled herb and wild rose.
James Suckling: 93 Points
A fresher 2017 with cherry, mushroom and stone aromas and flavors. Medium body. Firm, lively yet fine-grained tannins. Bright finish.
Wine Spectator: 92 Points
Round, evoking plum, dried cherry and earth flavors framed by toasty spice accents. This starts out polished before the tightly-wound, refined tannins emerge. Best from 2025 through 2040.
Wine Enthusiast: 92 Points
Elegantly structured, this offers balsamic aromas of camphor that mingle with new leather, forest floor and blue flower. The taut, polished palate features mature Marasca cherry, blood orange and star anise before closing on a hint of mocha. Fine-grained tannins provide support. Drink 2024–2029.
