"The 2008 Barolo Gavarini Vigna Chiniera is flat out great. Sweet roses, spices, mint, flowers and red berries are some of the notes that emerge from this profound, utterly moving Barolo. The 2008 possesses dazzling inner perfume, endless layers of bright red fruit and stunning overall balance. Fine, silky tannins frame the extraordinarily, elegant finish. This is a fabulous wine from Gianluca Grasso and his family. Chalky notes frame an energetic, brilliant finish imbued with shades of the 1989." -Antonio Galloni

"Hints of coffee and sandalwood mark this rich yet racy red, whose core flavors are cherry, strawberry and underbrush. There's some muscle and density, firming up on the finish, with adequate sweet fruit for balance. Best from 2015 through 2030."
