Critics Scores
Wine Spectator
Wonderful aromas of blackberry, licorice and mineral follow through to a full-bodied palate, with silky tannins and a very fruity finish. Delicate at the end. Racy and balanced. Best after 2011. 1,000 cases made, 200 cases imported.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2004 Sori San Lorenzo is a drop-dead gorgeous wine. It presents awesome balance, especially in the way it marries power with elegance. This is a remarkably refined and understated Sori San Lorenzo, with never-ending layers of dark raspberries, licorice, grilled herbs and tar that flow from its sumptuous frame. A dark, brooding beauty, it will require several additional years of bottle at a minimum, but those with the patience to wait will be amply rewarded. In most vintages I prefer the Sori Tildin, but in 2004 Sori San Lorenzo has a very slight edge over its sibling. It may very well be the finest Sori San Lorenzo since the legendary 1971. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2029.
Vinous
The 2004 Sorì San Lorenzo is incredibly sensual and layered in this vintage, almost uncharacteristically so. With time in the glass, some of the more typical brooding notes emerge. Hints of smoke, hard candy, black cherry, herbs, graphite and French oak meld together effortlessly. In 2004, the interplay of the finesse of the vintage and the more powerful, virile expression of Nebbiolo that emerges from this site is simply dazzling. The 2004 remains a distinctly finessed Sorì San Lorenzo with a very bright future. The vivid, nuanced finish is so inviting, it's hard to move on to the next wine.
James Suckling
The nose of plums, strawberries and flowers come out vividly to almost perfection. It follows through to a full body with firm and tight tannins. Finish is full of hazelnuts and chocolate. Intense and long. Salty finish. The depth and intensity is amazing yet it's refined and so polished. Leaves me spellbound. Better after 2015.
