點(diǎn)擊次數(shù)：4798

A forthcoming yet solidly structured red hallmarked by cherry, eucalyptus, tar, iron and tobacco flavors. Tightens up as this builds to the finish, leaving compact, mouthcoating tannins. Should evolve to show a kernel of pure, ripe fruit in the future. Best from 2027 through 2047. 458 cases made, 200 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barolo Select to Add

The Domenico Clerico 2019 Barolo Ginestra Ciabot Mentin (with 5,500 bottles made with fruit from vines planted in 1978) is a bit closed initially. This is a trait I found across a vintage that gives us good reason to bet on long bottle-aging potential. There is dark fruit and spice with licorice and grilled herb. Rusty mineral nuances also emerge slowly from the bouquet. This wine needs a double decant if consumed on the young side, but you're better off waiting. I came back to my open sample 24 hours later, and the wine was singing beautifully.

One of the icon wines of Piedmont, the 2018 Barolo Ciabot Mentin Ginestra offers dazzling complexity with a fine filigree of aromas that starts with black and purple fruit and continues to rusty nail, candied orange peel and licorice. It culminates with pretty aromatic lift that comes in the form of dried mint and toasted aniseed.

A smooth, balanced red, deftly displaying macerated cherry, plum and currant flavors. Flashes of rose and licorice add depth, while a tobacco element emerges on the lingering finish. Best from 2024 through 2038. 500 cases made, 250 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barolo Select to Add

The Domenico Clerico 2017 Barolo Ciabot Mentin Ginestra showcases fruit from old vines in Monforte d'Alba planted in 1978. This is a landmark wine that has forever dazzled and delighted, thanks to the purity and power of its fruit and its fine textural fiber. This 2017 vintage reveals a hint of vintage ripeness with candied cherry and orange peel, but the wine maintains its depth and complexity with plenty of tarry smoke and licorice. There were 200 magnums and 6,500 bottles released.
