Description:

Gaja Barolo 1997
Sori Tilden
Sperss
Piedmont
"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.

A genius for sure, Angelo Gaja can not be faulted for what he puts in the bottle. This work of art is worth every cent it will fetch." R. Parker, 99 pts. 06/01
2 bottles
Estimate $500-700
