about this wine:
According to Gaja, there's a rare vein of sand running through this vineyard, which keeps the soil drier and results in great concentration of flavor.

The 2004 Sori San Lorenzo is a drop-dead gorgeous wine. It presents awesome balance, especially in the way it marries power with elegance. This is a remarkably refined and understated Sori San Lorenzo, with never-ending layers of dark raspberries, licorice, grilled herbs and tar that flow from its sumptuous frame. A dark, brooding beauty, it will require several additional years of bottle at a minimum, but those with the patience to wait will be amply rewarded. In most vintages I prefer the Sori Tildin, but in 2004 Sori San Lorenzo has a very slight edge over its sibling. It may very well be the finest Sori San Lorenzo since the legendary 1971. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2029.

($400) Bright red-ruby. Multifaceted nose offers raspberry, cherry, truffle and dried flowers. Sweet and plush but lively, with perfectly integrated acidity giving the wine a penetrating character and suave oak remaining in the background. The pristine red fruit flavors show superb definition and grip, not to mention uncanny inner-mouth energy. Finishes with broad, suave, palate-saturating tannins and lovely perfumed lift.
