Gaja Barbaresco Sori Tildin 2014

Gaja Barbaresco Sori Tildin 2014This is a wine of profound elegance and grace. The 2014 Barbaresco Sor Tildn is fine and deeply finessed, with long and polished berry notes that are enhanced by mild spice and smoky mineral notes. The wine starts off slowly and subtly. You can follow its evident progression as it opens and evolves quickly in the glass. In fact, of Gaja's three single vineyard expressions, this wine is the most fluid and changing. The tannins are fine and nicely
