Gattinara Riserva 'Osso San Grato'

Score

96

"The 2015 Gattinara Riserva Osso San Grato marries finesse with power in grand style. Rose petal, sage, mint, sweet pipe tobacco, licorice and dried flowers lend striking aromatic nuance to a Gattinara that is endowed with tons of personality. Another few years should help soften the tannins. It is such a pretty and expressive Gattinara. Even with quite a bit of air, the Osso San Grato remains bright, polished and utterly beguiling"

"The 2014 Gattinara Osso San Grato is searing in its intensity... it is a striking, nuanced wine that captures everything that makes Gattinara so compelling. Chalk, white pepper, sweet red cherry, mint and dried flowers give the 2014 tons of brightness to match its mid-weight, driving personality. The definition and purity of the flavors is just compelling."
