GAJA BAROLO SPERSS 2016 (OWC)
Piedmont.
The golden touch, that proverbial Gaja magic, is taken to a whole new level in the 2016 Barolo Sperss. Starting with appearance, the wine is luminous and bright with shiny ruby and garnet gemstone. Its aromatic reach is three-dimensional with width, height and depth. Delicate berry tones cede to pressed lilac, anise, sandalwood and cardamom spice. I double decanted and left the bottle open for a few hours before my tasting. The results are tight and gentle, and the wine shows beautiful vertical lift and intensity. To achieve this much power without the excess fruit weight is really quite an accomplishment. This is the magic of Nebbiolo, and the magic of Gaja. July 2020 Drink to 2060 WA 100
