91 points Wine Enthusiast: `La Gerla delivers a soft and succulent texture with rich tones of milk chocolate and fudge behind layers of cherry and wild berry. The plush and rich nature of this wine sets it apart and this Brunello is long-lasting and caressing on the close with bright tones of cherry and vanilla.` (06/09) 90 points Wine Spectator: `Strawberry and cherry aromas follow through to a full body, with silky tannins and a flavorful finish. Long and full of character, yet balanced. Best after 2010.`
