I spent the weekend at our farm in southwestern Ohio doing a little
late season archery hunting to thin out the doe population. For
dinner we used the last of this years dried morels and made a morel
and chestnut rissoto served with grilled boar loin. Started with a
bottle of NV Gimonnet Brut Blanc de Blanc ($30.00) Nice fizz, sweet
pear fruit a bit short but a nice apertif wine. WIth dinner I opened
a 1997 Gaja Sori Tilden. Still very dark reddish purple with very
youthful aromas of ripe red and black raspberries and flowers. Rich
on the palate with a medium heavy mouthfeel. Tons of ripe cherry
fruit with notes of violets and cassis. Very complex yet still far
too young. I'd wait at least another five years before popping
another one. A profound wine. A+

It's Tild_i_n, not Tilden.

To Be exact, there are two acute accents in the name of the wine:
Sorí Tildín, the accents indicating the stress on the second
syllable of each word.

Sorry about the spelling error. Most English keyboards do not have the
accents readily available.

No problem, but this one is one of the most frequent besides
"reisling".

I know, and it was just an aside remark.

Btw, there is a very fine shareware program called "AllChars",
download for free at <http://allchars.zwolnet.com>, for all these
accents & special characters one might need.
