Tasting notes
The 2007 Barolo San Lorenzo is a disappointment. This is usually one of the finer wines in the Alessandria lineup but bottles of the 2007 I tasted were forward and thin, with little complexity or vintage character. The aromas and flavors are also quite forward, suggesting the wine needs to be enjoyed sooner rather than later. Alessandria has been on a tear of late. This is a rare miss.
