1995 Pieve Santa Restituta (Gaja) Brunello di Montalcino Rennina - TheEngineer - 02-03-2015
So this is the sister bottle to the Sugarille.
On its own, its a nice structured wine, that is now mature, dark in colour but aging rims in place, dark fruits, good density and had enough to stand up to pretty much anything you will have for dinner.
But this is not Sugarille. It lacks the thrilling bouquet and wonderful balance and lightness that is its sister wine. Definitely a noticeable step down.
