Sorì San Lorenzo als verführerischer Barbaresco in funkelnd sattem Rubin. Das Bouquet kraftvoll, kompakt und maskulin nach Teer, etwas Lakritze und viel reifer Frucht. Am Gaumen wunderbar seidiges, sehr dichtes Tannin, satter vielschichtiger Geschmack und endlos lang. Verspricht enormes Entwicklungspotenzial. SUPERIORE.DE

"Glänzendes Rubin mit feinem Granatschimmer. Sehr fein angelegte Nase, viel baumfrische Kirschen, etwas Waldhimbeere, im Hintergrund feine Würze. Am Gaumen viel kraftvolles, dichtmaschiges Tannin, hat zugleich aber auch feinen süßen Schmelz, sehr klar gezeichnet, mit Noten nach reifen Zwetschken und Himbeeren, im Finale langer Nachhall, überaus geschliffen." Falstaff

"Rich, layered, black cherry, tar and engine oil with a petrichor minerality. Tangy acidity, rounded tannins, medium body and long intensity. Incredibly elaborate, translucent like fine china and delicate yet full of beauty. Superb length." Jancis Robinson

"The 2015 Barbaresco Sorì San Lorenzo is endowed with serious concentration and power. In 2015, some of the site signatures that make Sorì San Lorenzo so distinctive are not especially apparent. It will be interesting to see how and when they develop. To be sure Sorì San Lorenzo comes across as not fully put together and also somewhat in conflict with the approach that drives today's Gaja wines." VINOUS

"This celebrated vineyard site has more magnesium in its soils and that may be why you get such a strong mineral note. The 2015 Barbaresco Sorì San Lorenzo offers a complex bouquet with dark fruit, crushed mineral and grilled herb. This wine is very robust in terms of structure and therefore needs extra time in the bottle before it finds its proverbial sweet spot. You need patience to reap those excellent benefits. Drink after 2022." Robert Parker

"The Sorí San Lorenzo vineyard is situated close to the Tanaro River, which undoubtedly helps moderate the temperature and initiates an earlier flowering period. Its sandy limestone soil provides perfect drainage and produces good tannin structure. This wine has depth, concentration and sweet primary fruit, with a touch of violet, meat, sweet cherry and wild raspberry. Lovely, polished tannins with some grip. It has benefitted from a slightly longer maceration, as well as eight months in barriques – seamlessly suffused into the wine – before spending the rest of the ageing period in large oak barrels." Decanter

"The aromas are mesmerizing with sandalwood, cedar, roses and dried strawberries. Full-bodied, tight and chewy with lots of pretty fruit and ultra-fine yet powerful tannins. Goes on for minutes. This needs three to five years of bottle age." James Suckling

"A bright, fruity version, boasting strawberry, cherry, floral, mineral and tobacco flavors, this is dense, solidly structured and vibrant, with a lingering, racy aftertaste. Very complex and well-balanced" Wine Spectator
