Tasting Notes
Robert Parker 93
“The 2015 Barbaresco Sorì Tildìn is dense and compact with smoky layers of black fruit, crushed mineral and black truffle. This growing site always produces robust and opulent wines, but these characteristics are hammered home even more so in the hot 2015 vintage. The wine graciously offers enough acidity to achieve balance and remind you of its pedigree. Barbaresco usually opens and evolves faster than Barolo. I think you can count on this wine to reach the start of its drinking window within the next decade.”

More prominent fruit on the nose than their Sorì San Lorenzo, with a redcurrant scent a bit like Pinot Noir from California or Victoria. Quite heady on the palate with powerful core fruit and dark chocolate character on the finish. Hedonistic ” this is Nebbiolo on parade. Long and engaging on the finish, but with quite a lot of alcohol fumes too. (RH)

The 2015 Barbaresco Sorì Tildìn is bright, perfumed and lifted in feel. Sorì Tildìn is always the most delicate of the single vineyard wines. In 2015, it is also a touch lithe. Bright red cherry, mint, pine and floral notes gradually develop in the glass. In two tastings separated by about six weeks, the Sorì Tildìn was uncharacteristically austere and compact, its considerable character notwithstanding. Sorì Tildìn is usually a wine of sensuality, but I don’t see much of that at this admittedly early stage.
Anticipated maturity: 2025-2045
