The 2016 Barolo San Lorenzo di Verduno is powerful, wild and beguiling from the very first taste. Rose petal, mint, sage, anise, crushed flowers and graphite give the 2016 an element of exoticism that is impossible to miss. Michet clone, prevalent in this site, yields a Barolo with uncommon complexity and volume, as well as pedigree to burn. The tannins are going to need time to soften, but there is so much to like here. A wine of stunning beauty, the 2016 San Lorenzo is shaping up to be one of the highlights of the year. I loved it. 93-96 points
