Rating

1999 Vintage 95 Points - Antonio Galloni, Wine Advocate: "The 1999 Sori Tildin is a knockout wine. It offers a classic, expressive nose of flowers and spices and somewhat austere profile of sweet red fruit, minerals and menthol on a mid-weight frame. It is the hardest of these wines to read today, but I found myself coming back to it often and discovering new nuances with each taste. It is clearly a wine of much potential and should start to drink well in another few years and last until age 25-30. It will be a fascinating wine to follow."

1999 Vintage 95 Points - Steve Tanzer, International Wine Cellars: "Ruby-red. Highly complex aromas of violet, minerals, smoke, game and coconut. A step up in flesh and richness from the Cos ta Russi. Very broad, dense and sweet but at the same time quite elegant and light on its feet. Very long and ripe on the aftertaste, with the wine's firm tannic structure covered by fruit. This has it all!"

1999 Vintage 94 Points - James Suckling, Wine Spectator: "Starts off a bit earthy but then turns to glorious, freshly cut flowers, with hints of crushed berries. Full-bodied, with fine tannins and a long, caressing finish. Very refined. A special style for Sorì Tildìn."

Other text

The word Sorì means a hilltop with a southern exposure; Tildin was the nickname of Angelo Gaja's grandmother, Clotilde Rey.
