Professional Ratings

  What a decadent nose of white truffles, meat and game with dark fruits too. Full body, chewy and round tannins and great depth of fruit. Layered texture. Very long and intense.

  A super great wine that needs time in the cellar, Sorì Tildìn is one of the world's very best vineyards, the 2011 is stunning! Deep ruby purple color; very deep and impressive ripe fruit aroma, more in the red fruit arena, with a spin of almost chalk and lots of mineral, very youthful, loaded; medium bodied, layered, yet perky on the palate, seamless in its well-built structure, sweet tannins abound; dry, very good acidity, well balanced; young and very refined flavors of red fruit and biting mineral notes, pebbly, outstanding concentration; long finish, youthfully tight in the aftertaste.

• 95 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
  The 2011 Sori Tildin is always a wine of great aromatic potential and the 2011 vintage is no exception. This Barbaresco-inspired red bursts from the glass with enormous verve and personality. Mineral notes of pencil shaving and brimstone come on the heels of red fruit and red currant.
• 93 Wine Spectator
  Intensely flavored, this red seems almost weightless, displaying licorice, cola, black cherry and spice flavors. Deepens with mocha and tar details as this cruises to a long finish. Impressive, if marked by the oak right now.
• 92 Wine Enthusiast
  Aromas of crushed plum, asphalt, oak, toast, exotic spice and forest floor lead the nose. The palate delivers black cherry, mocha, licorice and mineral alongside bracing, tightly woven tannins that need time to unwind.
