Barbaresco Sori San Lorenzo 2007 Gaja

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (98)

The 2007 Langhe Sori San Lorenzo is perhaps the most massive, virile wine in this lineup, and accordingly it will require the most time. Tannic and austere at the outset, the wine gradually opens to reveal staggering richness and depth in its dark fruit. The wine turns more elegant in the glass, revealing a myriad of black fruit, tar, licorice, spices and scorched earth in a dazzling display of class and elegance. This is one for the ages.

A rich, sumptuous red, tasting in turn like sweet spices, smoke, toast, blackberry, plum and licorice. These notes unravel in layers, matched to a dense texture and finely meshed tannins. Combining grace and power, this resonates on the finish, with cherry, spice and mineral notes.
