Tasting Notes

One of the great wines of the vintage, the spectacular 1996 Barolo Sperss, boasts an opaque ruby/purple color in addition to enormously ripe black cherries, tar, flowers, and white truffles. Extremely full-bodied, with compelling intensity and purity, this is a large-scaled, massive Barolo with plenty of tannin, and 2-3 decades of ageability. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2030.

94/96

Robert Parker, Wine Advocate (124), August 1999
