" A vivid, super-expressive wine, the 1999 Sperss is in a beautiful place right now. The flavors are remarkably nuanced in the glass. Precise but also broad and structured, the Sperss pulses with dark fleshed fruit and plenty of tar, licorice, incense and smoke overtones. What a gorgeous wine this is. " 96 Points Antonio Galloni - Vinous (8/2014)
"1999 Langhe Sperss—Dark ruby. The 1999 Sperrs displays much Serralunga character in its licorice, asphalt, herb, and sweet dark fruit flavors, with notable persistence on the palate and a potent personality. A rising of menthol beautifully frames the big, tannic finish. A wine that kept developing in the glass, this Sperss offers outstanding potential for those who are patient enough to wait at least a few years. It should drink well until at least age 25. (AG, In the Cellar) " 95 Points Wine Advocate (5/2006)
"Good full, deep red. Wild aromas of currant, camphor, leather, tar, dark chocolate and game, with an enticing floral topnote. Lush, sweet and concentrated, but with a powerful underlying spine. Classic sweet-but-dry Barolo of great brooding richness. Quite dominated today by its structure and austere on the aftertaste, but this young Barolo offers terrific depth and persistence on the palate. May well merit an even higher rating by the end of this decade." 94 Points International Wine Cellar (11/2004)
"Floral and fruity, yet subtle and refined. Full-bodied, tight and racy, with firm tannins and a focused, reserved fruity palate, that builds on the finish.—'99 Piedmont blind retrospective (2009). Best after 2010." 92 Points Wine Spectator (2/2009)
