Stepping up in structure and intensity compared to the Costa Russi, the Gaja 2022 Barbaresco Sorì Tildìn exhibits broad shoulders and depth. It delivers a dark fruit character surrounded by hints of campfire ash and crushed mineral. There is always a vein of ferrous mineral in this wine, and you definitely get it in this vintage. It comes with pretty background aromas of sambuca, aniseed and spicy ginger. The tannins are superbly managed to offer finesse and firmness.
The 2022 Barbaresco Sori Tildin exhibits fresh aromas of black raspberries, orange peel, anise, and toasted spices. It has a more immediate feel initially, but there is lovely structure and a layered complexity that unfolds in the glass to back this up. A step up on the palate, I love this where this is now. It has fantastic detail, with ripe tannins and a long finish. It’s a true pleasure all around and offered a more complete feel at this tasting. Drink 2026-2056.
Dark, deep and meaty Barbaresco with remarkable complexity. Oak-bark, camphor and balsamic aromas, together with dried black cherries and darker fruits. It’s more austere than overt on the nose, with deep-set, graceful Parma violets. Full-bodied, sleek and velvety with elegant tannins giving a sumptuous, refined texture, as well as freshness and an overall powerful finish. Eye-catching harmony due to such well-crafted power. Best from 2032.
