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.
