 A wine of pure joy, the 1985 Barbaresco Sorì San Lorenzo wraps around the palate with gorgeous fleshiness. Racy, ripe and textured, the Sorì San Lorenzo is a classic wine from this warm, precocious vintage. The 1985 won’t last forever, but it is absolutely gorgeous and peaking today. This is a fabulous showing from Gaja. (AG)  (11/2014)

 A bit more austere than the others, but it hangs a lot of flavor on an elegant frame, showing toasty, spicy raspberry aromas and flavors, tightly wound and long.  (12/1988)
