GAJA BAROLO SPERSS 1997

Piedmont.
u. 1 x vts. 1 x ts. 2 x scraped labels.

A virtually perfect effort is the 1997 Sperss (30,000 bottles), which represents the essence of truffles, earth, and black cherries in its striking aromatics and multidimensional, opulent, full-bodied palate. The acidity seems low because of the huge glycerin levels and prodigious concentration of fruit, but I suspect it is normal in the scheme of oenological measurement. This profound wine requires 3-4 years of cellaring, and should age well for 30-35 years. June 2001 WA 99

2 bts.    per lot $1,200 - $1,400
