The 1990 Barbaresco Sori San Lorenzo is a dark, hulking wine boasting masses of dark fruit, scorched earth and herbs. Initially somewhat rustic, the wine becomes rounder and more generous with time in the glass. Still, this remains a bit of a wild, unrestrained wine from Gaja that lacks the elegance that informs the very finest Sori San Lorenzos.
Elegant, ripe and polished, positively glowing with violet-tinged blackberry, currant and black cherry aromas and flavors, many-layered, complex and utterly seductive, a seamless wine that just melts across the palate. Nothing but greatness ahead.
