1997 Angelo Gaja Langhe Sori Tilden - 99 pts!
The awesome 1997 Sori Tilden (10000 bottles produced) is a candidate for perfection. The saturated purple color is followed by a dense full-bodied wine possessing extraordinary vibrancy for such a heavyweight muscular Nebbiolo. It offers a super-sweet entry a boatload of glycerin and notes of earth licorice cedar blackberry and cherry liqueur and a touch of blueberries. Extremely full gorgeously pure with a seamless texture this spectacular 1997 will enjoy three decades of cellaring. RP
