Vinous (92)The 1996 Barolo Gavarini Chiniera is just beginning to show the first elements of aromatic nuance and complexity. There is more than enough depth for the 1996 to drink well for a number of years to come. Sweet tobacco, cedar, savory herbs, menthol, licorice and wild cherries shape the aromatic, intense finish. I would prefer to cellar the 1996 for another few years, as the tannins aren't fully resolved. The Gavarini is a classic 1996 Barolo built on the austere power that is such a signature of the year. |
