Tasting Notes

Good full red. Red fruit aromas are lifted by violet and rose petal. Fine-grained and floral, with ripe, plush fruit given definition and lift by harmonious acids. More open today than the Costa Russi, with the sheer sweetness of fruits and flowers to give it great early sex appeal. A beauty.

Score: 94

Stephen Tanzer, International Wine Cellar 01 December 2009

The 2005 Sori Tildin appears to be incredibly primary and youthful. Floral aromatics meld seamlessly into freshly cut roses, raspberries, licorice, tar and menthol. This graceful, feminine wine reveals tons of elegance and finesse in an understated style. Today the Sori Tildin shows a touch more oak than the other single-vineyard wines, which suggests it may not quite have the stuffing of the very finest vintages. Still, this remains a vibrant and very Piedmontese wine in need of only one thing, and that is a long slumber in the cellar. Anticipated maturity: 2017-2035.

The purity of fruit in this young Nebbiolo is impressive, with a cedar, fresh mushroom and forest undertone. Full-bodied, with masses of fruit as well as toasty oak and milk chocolate. This is a wine that gives you lots at the finish. Best after 2014.
