Robert Parker Wine Advocate:

With fruit from Serralunga d'Alba, the Gaja 2018 Barolo Sperss is impossible to confuse with any other Barolo. The bouquet has a firm, etched quality with dark fruit, pencil shavings, iron and red brick. But there is also a fragrant interlude of wild cherry, forest fruit and orange peel. The Barolo Conteisa shows more overall ripeness and silkiness in this vintage, but the Sperss is all about muscle, power and structure. It promises a longer aging potential and bottle evolution. Drink Date 2025-2055. Rating 97/100. –Monica Larner–

Vinous:

The 2018 Barolo Sperss is a gorgeous, gorgeous wine. The aromatics alone are beguiling. Then again, that's one of the things that makes Barolo such a totally seductive wine. Sweet black cherry, lavender, spice and leather give this unusually translucent Barolo striking layers of dimension. Potent Serralunga tannins are present, but they are beautifully woven into the wine's fabric. Sadly, production is arount 11'000 bottles, down sharply from the 18'000 or so that is more typical. Drink Date 2028-2045. Rating 97/100. –Antonio Galloni–

Winespectator:

Juicy and fleshy, evoking cherry, raspberry, floral and licorice flavors. Harmonious and open-knit, this is approachable now, yet should improve over the next five years. The firm, lingering finish picks up a mineral element. Best from 2025 through 2040. 400 cases imported. Rating 94/100. –Bruce Sanderson–

Jancis Robinson:

'A mild, dry winter was followed by a very rainy and cold spring. Rain and below-average temperatures continued throughout the growing season until the sunny, windy, and fresh September brought the grapes to maturity. After the late harvest, grapes in the Barolo area showed excellent ripeness, with high acidity, thick skins, and soft tannins.' Sperss is in Serralunga d’Alba. Poured from magnum.

Pale ruby. A richer raspberry nose that the Barbarescos poured previously, with hints of cinnamon and with impressive depth. Supple pure raspberry on the palate with a thick layer of coating tannins. Beautiful length and freshness. Elegance is key. Drink Date 2024-2036. Rating 17.5/20. –Walter Speller–

falstaff.com:

Glänzendes, aufhellendes Rubingranat. Dicht und kompakt in der Nase, reife Fruchtnoten, nach Zwetschke, Rosenblättern und Trüffel, dezente Rauchnoten. Beeindruckend am Gaumen, zeigt viel griffiges, dichtmaschiges Tannin, kernig, hat den festen Charakter der Serralunga-Weine, im Finale erdige Noten. Rating 97/100. –Othmar Kiem, Simon Staffler–
