TASTING NOTES

Floral, extravagantly perfumed and sensual. This is a textured, sumptuously fruity Costa Russi with a backbone of acidity and minerality which frames and elevates the layered and complex fragrance and silky texture. Extremely evocative, engaging and enticing this really highlights the delicacy of Barbaresco yet still has the grunt, power and sophistication of a Gaja wine. Brilliant.

TASTING NOTES

On the nose, the sweet, lifted fragrance of roses slowly unfurls. Behind come the red fruits- pomegranate, red cherry and red currant. There is a crunchiness to the fruit on the attack but then the wine begins to flow smoothly across the palate, showing ripe and finely grained tannins without any austerity. The grip and bite of a classic Nebbiolo...

TASTING NOTES

Wonderfully mature with very complex flavours, it will be delicious for drinking over the next few years. Aromas of dark cherry and complex wild herb characters with notes of truffles and dark chocolate are followed by a smooth, ripe palate bursting full of complex, dark fruit characters with perfectly integrated, soft tannins. From the great 2007 vintage, this wine is...

TASTING NOTES

Bright, intense and lifted nose with incredible aromatic complexity: violets, balsamic and herbal notes. Rich, juicy and intense with terrific depth and power and a fabulously long finish. Sweet smoke, cherries and high quality oak wrap this glorious package together and it finishes bright, focused and crisp with perfect acidity.

TASTING NOTES

The 2011 really highlights the nuance, subtlety and elegance that this site is capable of whilst retaining the depth, verve and structure. This is a powerfully built Barbaresco but one with striking finesse. There is so much complexity but it is seamless and weightlessly elegant. One of the best Sorì Tildìns we have tasted. Supreme.

TASTING NOTES

Gaja¿s Sorì San Lorenzo is made from old vines on south facing slopes and is usually the most concentrated of the single vineyard Barbarescos with the capacity to age for 30 years or more. The 2009 follows very much in this style with intense, deep plum and dark berry aromas with notes of black mulberry fruits, wild herbs, exotic spices...

Deep colour and back to floral notes of dog rose with nuances of peppermint. Very dry tannic entry, fruit character the most suppressed of the three Crus - with hints of dark fruits and licquorice, lifted minerality and hints of spice. Very structured,ethereal with super ripe tannins and acidity, and a long, long finish with subtle notes of Assam tea....
