1996 Gaja Sori San Lorenzo Langhe from this lot has the following scores - Vinous 98 points. This is the tasting note for 1996 Gaja Sori San Lorenzo Langhe from Robert Parker - The dense opaque purple-colored 1996 Sori San Lorenzo possesses complex aromatics, consisting of classic Nebbiolo scents of rose petals, dried herbs, spice box, cedar, and abundant jammy black cherry and berry fruit. It is impressively powerful and muscular, with moderate tannin, a sweet, unctuous texture, and a 40+ second finish. Although the aromatics are stunning, this 1996 remains youthful and backward. . 1996 Gaja Sori Tildin Langhe Barbaresco from this lot has the following scores - The Wine Advocate 96 points, Wine Spectator 95 points. This is the tasting note for 1996 Gaja Sori Tildin Langhe Barbaresco from Robert Parker - It is hard to argue with those who claim that the finest of these single-vineyard offerings is always the Sori Tilden. The 1996 Sori Tilden reveals a pigmented/saturated ruby/purple color in addition to a tight nose, with aromas of blackberries, cherry liqueur, smoke, licorice, incense, and spice box. Enormous on the palate, with multiple layers of fruit, soft tannin, huge body, and a knock-out finish, it is backward and brawny. Anticipated maturity
