Cranberry juice, pomegranate, burnt orange, fresh leather, sandier than tar.

Brooding high-tannin Barolo, even for someone like me who happily drinks most Nebbiolo young. Floral nose, fresh blackberries, anise... lighter in weight, but BIGLY chewy. This needs air, but should be cellared for 5-10 years.

The 2015 Barolo San Lorenzo di Verduno is a powerful, muscular wine, and yet it also has a sense of translucence that is hugely appealing. Iron, smoke, blood, leather, tobacco and incense give the San Lorenzo a distinctly feral, wild quality. I expect the 2015 will always remain a bit rustic in feel, but it certainly has plenty of character, as well as the structure to develop well for a number of years.

At the Gran Bar, the Somm from Monzo was super helpful. This is pop and pour good.

Super tight, needs a good while in a decanter to show its face but what a pretty face it is, think Heidi Klum...
