Gaja Sorì San Lorenzo 2004

BN#219454

Color: Deep red.

Aroma: Highly concentrated currant and black cherry fruit with a hint of coffee, in addition to aromas of fine herbs, minerals and exotic spices.

Taste: Almost always the most powerful and austere of Gaja's five single-vineyard wines, requiring a longer time to fully develop. A very focused, concentrated wine with a long, lingering finish and refined tannins, it has excellent aging potential.

Wine Advocate The 2004 Sori San Lorenzo is a drop-dead gorgeous wine. It presents awesome balance, especially in the way it marries power with elegance. This is a remarkably refined and understated Sori San Lorenzo, with never-ending layers of dark raspberries, licorice, grilled herbs and tar that flow from its sumptuous frame. A dark, brooding beauty, it will require several additional years of bottle at a minimum, but those with the patience to wait will be amply rewarded. In most vintages I prefer the Sori Tildin, but in 2004 Sori San Lorenzo has a very slight edge over its sibling. It may very well be the finest Sori San Lorenzo since the legendary 1971. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2029. Score: 98. —Antonio Galloni, October 2007.

Wine Spectator Wonderful aromas of blackberry, licorice and mineral follow through to a full-bodied palate, with silky tannins and a very fruity finish. Delicate at the end. Racy and balanced. Best after 2011. 1,000 cases made. Score: 93. —James Suckling, December 15, 2007.
