The 2009 Sorte O Soro has an almond, hazelnut and dried orange peel bouquet that would benefit from a little more delineation. The medium-bodied palate’s Meursault-like entry reveals subtle hazelnut notes intermingled with smoke and almond. The slightly oxidative finish is missing a little cohesion and tension, yet it is long and persistent. This should offer more with 3-4 years bottle age. Drink 2014-2020.
