Wine Spectator
The
nose of this wine is so precise, with perfume, rose, blackberry
and raspberry aromas, and the full-bodied palate builds and builds
and then overflows with ripe fruit and layers of rich, ripe, velvety
tannins. This has amazing opulence, yet it's profound and structured.
A fabulous wine. The best Sperss ever made.

Antonio Galloni - Wine Advocate
Gaja’s 2003 Sperss
is made from vineyards in Serralunga and offers better balance than
the Conteisa. It is plump and juicy, with a generous core of dark
fruit, tar and menthol supported by a massive, imposing structure.
The wine offers notable length although there is a suggestion of
heat on the finish. This powerful, brooding Sperss will require
patience, even if today it gives the illusion of being a relatively
accessible vintage for this wine.
Anticipated maturity: '10-'23. |
