black cherry and pepper notes

The supple but tautly muscular medium weight plus flavors possess a suave mouth feel thanks to the abundant dry extract that both coats the palate and buffers the very firm tannic spine on the highly persistent and imposingly powerful finish

Gaja, Sori San Lorenzo other_regions black cherry and pepper notesThe 2001 Sor San Lorenzo is all about finesse and texture. Ripe, silky tannins provide the backdrop as the 2001 opens up in the glass. The 2001 is still fresh, primary and very young. Ideally, it needs another 5 years or so in the cellar. There is little doubt the 2001 is shaping up to be one of the most elegant Sor San Lorenzos ever made. Today, it is dazzling. Antonio Galloni
