1997 Gaja Sperss Langhe - Barolo (Very Slightly Scuffed Labels)

"A virtually perfect effort is the 1997 Sperss, 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." 99/100 - Wine Advocate
