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.

Angelo Gaja's 1985 Barbaresco Sorì San Lorenzo was truly great, except it was far too young. Don't ask me when the 1985 will be ready, I have no idea. But I would be thrilled to own it, as it was nothing short of fabulous. Once again, Gaja shows that even with all of the experimenting that he did in the 1980s, the wines never lost their ability to age.
