Tasting note: The 1990 Barbaresco Sori San Lorenzo is a dark, hulking wine boasting masses of dark fruit, scorched earth and herbs. Initially somewhat rustic, the wine becomes rounder and more generous with time in the glass. Still, this remains a bit of a wild, unrestrained wine from Gaja that lacks the elegance that informs the very finest Sori San Lorenzos. Anticipated maturity: 2010- 2030.  (94 pts. AG, Wine Advocate)

Tasted: Feb 2010
Score: 94
Drink: 2010-2030

Tasting note: Elegant, ripe and polished, positively glowing with violet-tinged blackberry, currant and black cherry aromas and flavors, many-layered, complex and utterly seductive, a seamless wine that just melts across the palate. Nothing but greatness ahead. 830 cases made. (96 pts. Wine Spectator)
