"The 2018 Gattinara Riserva Osso San Grato is one of the great wines of the vintage. It offers notable depth married with a feeling of classicism that is palpable. Dark fruit, leather, spice, menthol, licorice, lavender and mocha all take flight from the glass. Vertical and soaring, the 2018 is seriously impressive."

"Aromas of incense and potpourri figure prominently in this maturing red, whose fading cherry and berry flavors are matched by leather, tobacco and mineral accents. This ends with a light, dusty feel on the long, fresh finish. Drink now through 2028. 400 cases made, 120 cases imported. –BS"
