96 / 100"Wonderfully composed and classically expressed, the wine shows sweet cherry, fine leather, dried flower, star anise, and toasted nut aromas on the nose, followed by a beautifully weighted palate offering refined texture backed by finely infused tannins, making it firm and bold, while remaining harmonious and lingering. At its best: now to 2033."

"The 2018 Barolo San Lorenzo di Verduno has a very pleasing linear quality that is reinforced by red berry aromas, dried blueberry, crushed flint or granite, and a bouquet of fresh blue flowers and violets. The wine is fermented in steel vats and aged in tonneaux. Only 3,300 bottles were produced."

Tasting Notes
Crushed cherry, violets and balsamic. Rich, bold and powerful on the palate with an impressive level of tannins. Expect flavours of blood orange, macerated strawberries, cranberry and cherry, all done up in new leather and clove spice. With a firm structure and plentiful acidity, this promises great aging potential.
