Tasting Notes: Gaja Sori San Lorenzo Barbaresco 2017 Magnum
Appearance
A deep garnet-red hue with brick reflections at the rim, indicating both youth and depth.
Nose
A complex and expressive bouquet unfolds gradually. Aromas of yellow flowers, wild gorse, and subtle violet intertwine with layers of ripe red cherries, crushed raspberries, leather, and understated spices. With aeration, hints of tobacco leaf and mineral graphite emerge.
Palate
The palate entrance is vibrant and captivating. A persistent, layered sensation touches every corner of the mouth. Flavours of dark red fruit, sweet spice, and dried herbs unfold with precision. The tannins are easily perceptible yet silky and polished, offering grip without harshness. A refreshing, almost electric finish leaves a powerful and elegant impression, underscoring its long ageing potential.
