01.16.08 2003 Fratelli Alessandria San Lorenzo Barolo


From the Noble Nebbiolo, this Barolo is a wine from a vineyard we do not normally by from - we prefer the Monvigliero - but in the DI tasting, the San Lorenzo really shined.

Upfront big cherry with black licorice anise and evergreen. Bill thoughts loads of alcohol, eventhough we decanted it for a good 1/2 hour. Definitely needs food. Jamie and I split an order of three meat ragu and the wine sang. Needs more time in the bottle.

Luckily we still have 8 bottles of the 2001 Monvigliero!
