Sori Tildin: Fra 1996 til 2011 var der omkring 5 % Barbera i cuvéen, og da der kræves 100 % Nebbiolo til Barbaresco DOCG, blev Sori San Lorenzo aftappet under Langhe Nebbiolo DOC i denne periode, ligesom Gajas andre enkeltvinmarker blev det. Siden 2013-årgangen er den igen ren Nebbiolo og under Barbaresco DOCG. Modnet i 12 måneder på barriques og derefter yderligere 12 måneder på store træfade. Sori Tildin er Gajas mest elegante og fineste vin. Men det er også en kompleks og dyb vin med en enorm variation af smagsnuancer. Fra mørke bær til chokolade, espresso, tobak, lakrids og overdådige frugtmasser. Meget koncentreret, hedonistisk og dyb med en lang, fløjlsagtig finish. Hvis du åbner den før 2028, skal du give vinen masser af luft. Den skal helt sikkert have mindst fem til otte timer i karaffel. 97-100/100 *** Sori San Lorenzo: Fra årgangene 1996 til 2011 var der omkring 5 % Barbera i cuvéen, og da der kræves 100 % Nebbiolo til Barbaresco DOCG, blev Sori San Lorenzo i denne periode aftappet under Langhe Nebbiolo DOC, ligesom Gajas andre enkeltmarksvine. Siden 2013-årgangen er den igen ren Nebbiolo og under Barbaresco DOCG. Modnet i 12 måneder på barriques og derefter yderligere 12 måneder på store træfade. I modsætning til Sori Tildin, som altid producerer den mest elegante vin, er San Lorenzo Gajas en kraftfuld vin fra sin noget varmere beliggenhed. Især i det perfekte år 2016, som sikrede en masse modenhed og tryk i hele Piemonte-regionen, virker dette sted endnu klarere! Sort frugt, ristede nødder, krydderier, læder og cedertræ i næsen. Meget kompleks, lagdelt og elegant med et velduftende potpourri, men alligevel utrolig rig. En ideel sammensætning af kraft og finesse. Som alle Gaja Barbaresco-steder udvikler Sori San Lorenzo sig til sit højdepunkt med et par ekstra års lagring i flasken. Hvis du åbner den før 2028, skal du give vinen tilstrækkeligt med luft. Den har helt sikkert brug for mindst fem til otte timer i karaffel. 98-100/100 *** Costa Russi: Fra årgangene 1996 til 2011 var der omkring 5 % Barbera i cuvéen, og da der kræves 100 % Nebbiolo til Barbaresco DOCG, blev Costa Russi aftappet under Langhe Nebbiolo DOC i denne periode, ligesom Gajas andre enkeltvinmarker. Siden 2013-årgangen er den igen ren Nebbiolo og under Barbaresco DOCG. Modnet i 12 måneder i barriques og derefter yderligere 12 måneder i store træfade. 2016 er allerede monumental! Fyldig, rund, overdådig. Men ikke tung, den har simpelthen et utroligt stort tryk. Modne sorte kirsebær, brombær og pommersk blomme. Underneden er der en utrolig fin krydring. Et strejf af vanilje, et strejf af peber og så et potpourri af velduftende blomster. Dette er ren forførelse! I munden er tanninerne fint polerede, men også strukturerede, for der er masser af dem. Denne vin har, hvad der skal til for at modnes i lang tid, men den er allerede så sensuel i dag. Hvis du åbner den før 2028, skal du give vinen masser af luft. Den har helt sikkert brug for mindst fem til otte timer i karaflen. Fantastisk! 100/100

Galloni om: Sammlerbox: Single Vineyard

The 2016 Barbaresco Sorì Tildìn is a fabulous, incredibly complete wine that soars out of the glass with explosive structure and vertical lift. The tannins are very much present, but also matched beautifully by the wine's aromatic intensity and overall drive. Dark macerated cherry, spice, leather, licorice, plum and mocha add darker shades of nuance. In 2016, Sorì Tildìn is a bit more brooding and bigger than it often is, and yet all the elements are impeccably balanced. It is quite simply a majestic wine of real grandeur and total class, but it is not obvious. Sorì Tildìn will appeal most to readers who understand what the truest essence of Nebbiolo is all about. In a word: magnificent! 100/100***The 2016 Barbaresco Sorì San Lorenzo is an eternal wine that will need 10-15 years in bottle to truly come around. Sorì San Lorenzo is often a big, virile wine. There is plenty of heft to the 2016, but at the same time, I also find an element of refinement and nuance that Sorì San Lorenzo has rarely, if ever, shown. Black cherry, cloves, menthol, licorice, gravel and incense are some of the many aromas and flavor that meld together in this dramatic and dramatically beautiful Barbaresco from the Gaja family. The Sorì San Lorenzo just explodes on the finish, with an array of aromas, flavors and textures that will leave readers weak at the knees. The 2016 is an outrageously beautiful, vivid wine of real gravitas and power. 98+/100***The 2016 Barbaresco Costa Russi is ripe, creamy and enveloping, as it so often is, and yet also preserves the super classic sense of structure that runs through all these wines. In 2016, Costa Russi has an extra touch of mid-palate sweetness that gives the wine its sense of immediacy. Succulent red cherry, rosewater, kirsch, mint and dried flowers meld together in the glass. Soft and sensual, with tons of allure, Costa Russi is another winner from Gaja. Time in the glass brings out the wine's density and tannins, both of which it has in spades. 98/100

Jeb Dunnuck om: Sammlerbox: Single Vineyard

Coming from a warmer, south-facing site, the 2016 Barbaresco Sori Tildin is a more concentrated, vibrant wine compared to the straight Barbaresco and has vivid notes of bright cherry fruits, rose petals, road tar, violets and even a hint of orange blossom. Incredible on the palate, with medium to full body, an incredible, seamless texture, ultra-fine tannins, and a monster finish. The tannins here are unquestionably on another level and are perfectly ripe, and this just about off-the-charts 2016 has a Grand Cru Red Burgundy-like texture, elegance, and stature. This bottle didn't hit prime time until the second day, so either give bottles a healthy decant or, even better, 5-7 years in a cold cellar. 98/100***Another wine with a Burgundian silkiness (tannins this good can be hard to find in young Nebbiolo), the 2016 Barbaresco Sori San Lorenzo offers a more exotic bouquet of spiced red plums, licorice, dried herbs, rose petals, and flowery incense. This is a ripe, incredibly sexy, opulent Barbaresco that stays pure, ultra-refined, and elegant on the palate, with both tannins and acidity perfectly integrated. As with the Sori Tildin, it took plenty of air to show at its best, and despite offering incredibly pleasure today due to its balance and ripe tannins, it's needs 5-7 years of bottle age and will cruise for 25 years or more. 99/100***The 2016 Barbaresco Costa Russi is a more floral, sappy Barbaresco, offering textbook notes of black cherries, rose petals, sappy herbs, and violets. It's one of the more vibrant, juicy, and perfumed wines in the lineup and has medium to full body, bright yet integrated acidity, and the same incredibly polished yet certainly present tannins found in all these 2016s. This is another elegant 2016 that never puts a foot wrong. 100/100

Wine&Spirits om: Sammlerbox: Single Vineyard

Sori Tildin: Angelo Gaja made his first single-cru wine from this eight-acre site south of Barbaresco village in 1970. The wine included five percent of barbera and was labeled a Langhe DOC until 2013 when, along with Gaja’s other single-vineyard bottlings, it joined the Barbaresco DOCG as a 100-percent nebbiolo wine. The 2016 Sorì Tildìn is darker and more sensuous than its San Lorenzo sibling, unfolding with saturated flavors of dark cherry, raspberry and black truffle couched in velvety tannins. Bursts of wild herbs and dark spice enliven the flavors, driving the wine forward toward a long, seamless finish. 98/100***Sori San Lorenzo: In 2004, the Gaja family began an intensive program to improve their vineyards, implementing organic composting, taking steps to increase biodiversity, and modifying the pruning system with help from the respected firm Simonit and Sirch. Work in the cellar has also evolved; while the Barbarescos still age in oak barrels, fewer are new, and barriques have been supplemented by larger tonneaux. The family is also giving the wines more time on the lees, to preserve freshness. The investment paid off in 2016, a vintage that has been characterized as near-perfect, with timely rainfall, warm summer days and cooler temperatures near harvest. According to Gaia Gaja, the grapes ripened so evenly and harmoniously that production was up by about 15 percent. Gaja’s 2016 Sorì San Lorenzo sits atop the pinnacle, combining power and concentration with sheer excitement. Its deep cherry tones take time to unfurl, gradually gaining notes of licorice, menthol, woodsy mushroom and dark spice as the wine builds toward an electric crescendo. Firm, polished tannins inject a coolness that further energizes the wine and will surely make this the longest-lived of Gaja’s glorious 2016 Barbarescos. 100/100
