Gaja Barolo Sperss 2009 750ml

Good deep red.Knockout, almost liqueur-like nose combines plum, redcurrant, red licorice, marzipan, menthol, tobacco and loamy earth.Large-scaled, broad and deep, with its powerful sweetness leavened by strong minerality and a distinct medicinal reserve.As concentrated as a solid.The slowly building finish shows inexorable length, saturating the palate with salty minerality.I’d bet on this one for the long haul.
