1990 Gaja Barbaresco Sori Tildin

Absolutely ranks with the finest wines in the world. Spicy, rich and concentrated, a laser beam of berry and plum flavor arcing through the smooth-textured tannins, shooting off sparks of anise, toasty vanilla and tar. An electric wine with power, polish, subtlety and grace. (Web-1993) Review Date: January 1993

The 1990 Barbaresco Sori Tildin opens with a wonderfully expressive, floral bouquet that leads to a finely-knit core of ripe red fruits, sweet tobacco and spices. Here the warmth and generosity of the vintage offer superb balance and fleshiness to the wine’s sculpted, well-articulated aromas and flavors. The wine’s overall sense of harmony is spectacular.
