2013 Gaja, Sori Tildin, Barbaresco DOCG 1x750ml

Vinous 97

As always, the Sori Tildin is a wine of nuance and delineation above all else. Beautifully sculpted and precise, the 2013 offers up a compelling interplay of dark red cherry, mint, lavender and licorice. A subtle accent of French oak adds nuance without detracting from the wine’s translucent personality and overall energy. At the same time, it is hard for the mind not to wander a bit and imagine what the wine might have tasted like had it been made more along the lines of the Costa Russi, especially given this site’s inherent finesse. But back to the present. The 2013 Sori Tildin is another drop-dead gorgeous beauty from Gaja. [Antonio Galloni, 01/10/2016]
