Sorì San Lorenzo Barbaresco Nebbiolo

Bright cherry, plum, lavender on the nose. Beautifully fresh and clear. Really impressive. Some tangy fruit. Really pure and long in the finish. Great stuff

Got 90% of the cork extracted before it broke because the last part stuck to the inside of the neck. Ended up decanting about 3 hours ago (through cheesecloth), but OMG, simply soaring dark fruits, floral, and lovely road tar as well, this is still somewhat primary fruit wise, but tannins and structure are now soft, supple and broad in its flavors, very long, lingering finish, great Cru Barbaresco!!!

1985 vintage. Still plenty of concentration and focus within despite having crested the top of the bell curve a while back. Nice spice, clove, cinnamon and out all nite bender residual tobacco notes. Light-medium/medium body. Respectable amount of sed piled up. Nose of a holiday kitchen at full speed. Expecting this to hover in this drinking zone for approximately another half decade before leaving this room and walking into another. Not getting better but time remains to sip and savor this one-even as a procrastinator.

Jan 20th, 2023This seemed mature and completely ready to drink when poured, but lovely floral aromatics and delicacy in this 40-year-old Nebbiolo, long finish, just beautiful!! Original price tag of $18.29 was still on the bottle, I have more so we’ll see how the next bottle shows!

Dec 28th, 202217/20 (92/100) Красивый, но не легкомысленный аромат с нотами вишни, земляники и цветов. Довольно тельное с высокой кислотностью. Насыщенность во вкусе слабее, чем у Tildin 2016, тем не менее послевкусие продолжительное. Молодо, этому вину требуется ещё как минимум три года выдержки. (02.11.2019) #dfwe2019
