2015 Gaja "Sorì Tildìn" Barbaresco

“Aromas of asphalt and tar that turn to dried strawberries, plums and citrus fruit. Full body, yet agile and very refined with a beautiful balance of fruit, tannins and acidity. Extremely persistent and focused finish. All about harmony and strength. Drink in 2022.” (07/2018)

“Almost seamless now, this red is hitting its stride, exuding cherry, strawberry, floral, mineral and tobacco aromas and flavors. Offers great structure and length, with a firm, minerally aftertaste. Best from 2022 through 2040. (BS)” (03/2019)

“The 2015 Barbaresco Sorì Tildìn is bright, perfumed and lifted in feel. Sorì Tildìn is always the most delicate of the single vineyard wines. In 2015, it is also a touch lithe. Bright red cherry, mint, pine and floral notes gradually develop in the glass. In two tastings separated by about six weeks, the Sorì Tildìn was uncharacteristically austere and compact, its considerable character notwithstanding. Sorì Tildìn is usually a wine of sensuality, but I don't see much of that at this admittedly early stage. (AG)” (10/2018)
