1985 SORI SAN LORENZO
Barbaresco, Sori San Lorenzo--Vintage 1985
Piedmont. Estate-bottled: Gaja
Lightly bin-soiled labels
Tasting note: Gaja's top wine served after his 'standard' Barbaresco at the first Gidleigh Park dinner (1995). The same appearance (as the Barbaresco) but very much more to it: sweeter, richer nose, powerful, spicy, lovely fragrance; on palate firm, multi-layered, greater length, tannins and wonderful acidity. Two years later, also at Gidleigh: 'Pétrus-like' flesh, spice, weight. Great wine. Last tasted March 1997 ****(*). Michael Broadbent, Vintage Wine
