Lot 129 Details
GAJA BARBARESCO SORI SAN LORENZO 1999 (1)

Piedmont.
u. 2 cm. scraped label.

The 1999 Sori San Lorenzo, the darkest of its three siblings, is the most potent of all, with a big, alcoholic push which drives the tar, roses, plums, and toasted oak. It has sizeable structure and important intensity, the richness and depth of extract and the balance of power and finesse are those of outstanding grapes and winemaking. October 2003 WA 94

GAJA BARBARESCO SORI SAN LORENZO 2000 (1)

Piedmont.
u. 1.5 cm. scuffed label.

The 2000 Sori San Lorenzo is another of the standouts of the year. It remains quite youthful, with notable energy in its dark, brooding fruit and considerable tannin. Despite its sheer power, the 2000 isn’t as explosive as it can be. Still, there is little doubt the 2000 Sori San Lorenzo has the stuffing to age well for many years to come. May 2011. Drink to 2030 WA 95
