Lots of heft and complexity. The fruit is still packing a nice punch but it’s deeper and more mature. Tobacco. Red fruits. Strong tannins. Great color.

1997 Gaja Sori San Lorenzo. Drank with burgers. Decanted 30 mins before drinking. Next time, should decant much sooner - maybe 1.5 hours prior to drinking. Barnyard and forest floor early on. After about an hour, nose shifted to dark fruit, gravel, cocoa, with a great mouthfeel. Tannins def developed over time in the decanter.

This tasted like a 10 yr old wine so youthful & structured. Lots of dark fruits, spice, leather & tobacco.

1997 Gaja Sori San Lorenzo. Drank w K, DS, Andy at Toscana. Super balanced, but the nose wasn't particularly memorable. We favoured the Riserva Soldera over this.
