Score 91/100 · Drink 2003-2021, Robert Parker, Jun 2001

Sensational, but structured is the 1997 Barbaresco-La Spinetta Valeirani. This wine exhibits licorice, glycerin and berry fruit along with exotic spices, leather, smoke, and herbs. Spicy and full-bodied, with obvious tannin, structure, and muscle, it requires 2-3 years of cellaring, and should keep for 15-20. A Marc de Grazia Selection, various American importers, including Michael Skurnik, Syosset, NY; tel. (516) 677-9300, Vin Divino, Chicago, IL; tel. (773) 334-6700, and Estate Wines, Ltd., San Rafael, CA; tel. (415) 492-9411
