The 2009 Barolo Gavarini Vigna Chiniera is a beautifully delicate and elegant wine with fruit sourced from 35-year-old vines at 400 meters above sea level. Those higher elevations have helped to shape finely detailed aromas...Bright notes of pressed rose, violets, licorice, spice, tar and plum all call out your attention...Each time you return to the glass, the wine offers yet another dimension. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2035. Elio Grasso and his son Gianluca have created one of the finest vineyards and wineries in the Langhe today. The energy shared by this dynamic father and son team demonstrates that no ambition is too far stretched or lofty - as long as there is a will for hard work. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Finally had to try one of these. Was not disappointed. Leather, cherry, little bit of tar. Very good
