Compressed and austere, showing the vintage's stamp on this typically expressive site. Dried herbs, leather and tart cherry emerge with reluctant intensity. The palate feels constricted, lacking San Lorenzo's usual generosity and expansive mid-palate presence. While structurally sound, this Barolo struggles to find its voice. A muted expression from a normally eloquent vineyard.
