Barbaresco Sori Tildin 1985 Gaja

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (92)

The Sori Tildin presents a stark contrast to other wines in the flight in its super-ripe, concentrated style. The aromatics are somewhat muted. This seems to offer outstanding potential, although the fruit is dominated by an unyielding wall of new oak. Every now and then spice, tar and licorice nuances emerge, but my overall impression is of a wine imprisoned by an excessive amount of oak.

Winespectator (97)

A majestic wine, beautifully harmonious, seamless and integrated, with magn ificent fruit, matchless complexity and stunning depth of flavor. Hints of violet, toast and nutmeg enrich the plummy raspberry fruit. Long and tight on the finish.
