International Wine Cellar Author: Stephen Tanzer Issue: Issue 117

Deep red-ruby. A bit less exuberant on the nose than the Cos ta Russi, hinting at plum, mocha, chocolate, underbrush and minerals. Very suave on entry, then brooding, classy and young, with far more primary black fruit and licorice flavors than the nose suggests. Less showy today than the Costa Russi but perhaps even longer, with more powerful tannins. This really calls for at least seven or eight years of additional bottle aging.

The 2001 Sori Tildin is stellar. It shows the typical Tildin pointedness, with gorgeous delineation throughout. The fruit remains fabulously rich and vibrant from start to finish. This is a very refined showing from Angelo Gaja. The 2001 is still quite young and appears to have a bright future.

Wow. This is pure fruit. Aromas of raspberries, cherries and blackberries jump from the glass. Full-bodied, with ultrafine tannins and a long, long finish. Shows wonderful finesse and class. 1,050 cases made.

Monstrous with tar and perfume. Awesome mouth fell and very long finish. Possibly the best wine I have every drunk.

Sori Tildin is the smallest of GAJ's crus. It is an eight-acre south-facing hilltop vineyard ("sori" means a hilltop with southern exposure in Italian) situated in the Barbaresco district. Just like the other GAJA crus since 1996 the Sori Tildin has only been allowed to use the Langhe Nebbiolo DOC as opposed to the Barbaresco DOCG because of Angelo Gaj's use of Barbera. Sori Tildin is my personal favorite of the Barbaresco based crus. Just like its peers in the Barbaresco zone, the 2001 Sori Tildin has 95% Nebbiolo and 5% Barbera in its profile. It was fermented in stainless steel prior to aging for one year in barrique and one year in large oak casks. It has a brilliant medium ruby red hue. A powerful but gorgeously rendered nose of sweet concentrated black cherry, earth, herbs, and milk with nuances of vanilla and mint. Significant tannin and virtually perfect levels of acidity. A very long finish which while velvety in texture still retains an intriguing firmness. More masculine and structured than the Costa Russi but more forgiving then the Sori San Lorenzo. The Sori Tildin is my favorite wine in GAJ's entire 2001 portfolio.
