Barbaresco, Sorì Tildìn--Vintage 1990
Piedmont, Gaja
"The most massive of Gaja's Barbarescos is the huge, thick, smoky 1990 Sori Tilden. This enormously rich, profound wine is full-bodied, magnificently concentrated with admirable underlying aci dity, and plenty of tannin. The finish lasts for over a minute. Cellar it for 5-6 years and drink it over the next 30. Admirers of great wine will no doubt be debating the merits of Gaja's 1989s and 1990s for the next two or three decades. Both are spectacular vintages. When I tasted them side by side in March, the 1990s possessed a slight edge in terms of concentration and power. That does not mean they will ultimately turn out better, but they are fabulously impressive wines of unprecedented complexity, stature, and richness." Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #92 (Apr 1994)
