GAJA
Offered in original twelve bottle wooden case
Barbaresco, Sori San Lorenzo--Vintage 1996
Piedmont. Estate-bottled: Gaja
Tasting note: The dense opaque purple-colored 1996 Sori San Lorenzo possesses complex aromatics, consisting of classic Nebbiolo scents of rose petals, dried herbs, spice box, cedar, and abundant jammy black cherry and berry fruit. It is impressively powerful and muscular, with moderate tannin, a sweet, unctuous texture, and a 40+ second finish. Although the aromatics are stunning, this 1996 remains youthful and backward. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2025. 96 points. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #130, August 2000
