1997 Luigi Pira Barolo RP--91

Robert Parker: 91 Points
Wine Advocate # 135 Jun 2001 Robert Parker 91 Drink: 2001 - 2013 $43-$54 (39) Luigi Pira's 1997 Barolo is a decadent, luxuriously rich effort offering an opulent texture, and gorgeous jammy currant, cherry, licorice, smoke, and cured olive characteristics. It possesses a superb texture, a sexy, forward, low acid style, and copious quantities of glycerin, fruit, and extract. It is a terrific wine to drink now and over the next 10-12 years.
