GAJA LANGHE SPERSS 2005

Robert Parker: 93 Points
Wine Advocate # 182 Apr 2009 Antonio Galloni 93 Drink: 2012 - 2022 $163-$289 (240) The 2005 Sperss is simply gorgeous in its layers of super-ripe black fruit, smoke, licorice, French oak, new leather and spices. As is the case with most wines in this vintage, the 2005 Sperss is relatively compact and two-dimensional yet it offers outstanding balance in an easygoing style for this wine. Gaja's vineyards in Serralunga are some of the best-exposed plots in the zone, and that clearly was a help here. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2022.
