Gaja Barbaresco Sori Tildin 2017
Item Code: IL1-2002O17B
Extremely perfumed with strawberries, flowers, cherries and hints of ash and tar. Medium to full-bodied with tightness and raciness to the tannins. Polished, too. Very, very persistent. Try after 2022.

The Gaja 2017 Barbaresco Sorì Tildìn opens to a luminous ruby appearance with pretty crimson highlights. This vintage appears lighter in color and concentration compared to past editions. The bouquet delivers a purity and sharpness nonetheless, but it offers less overall fruit. It shows subtle berry tones with blue flower, aniseed and candied orange peel. This very young Sorì Tildìn takes time to open, and it remains on the nervous side even after it has been given ample time in the glass. The best course of action is to wait until the 10-year mark before opening this bottle. It needs that extra time to soften and flesh out.
94 Wine Advocate
Appearance:
Ruby with a freshly garnet nuance, which becomes slightly faded on the edges.
Aroma:
It rises with wild fruit, lavender and damask rose, cherries in jam and musk, a precious touch of mushrooms and roots, cedar wood, then coffee, juniper and fresh balsamic contribution.
Palate:
The absolute elegance of the cru is also immediately evident in the mouth, where the flavours dance in an aromatic tourbillon that appears precise in the hints and supported by proverbial freshness and savoury minerality. The tannin on the other hand appears as smooth as a sculpture of Canova, leading to an unlimited finish that shows off its unique energy and character.
