As this fantastic Barolo from Domenico Clerico begins to open, it releases gorgeous aromas of dried cherries and strawberries, followed by exotic spices, dried floral, crushed stones, leather and hints of licorice, all bursting from the glass. On the palate this is beautifully refined and structured, with silky, polished tannins. It continues to impress with remarkable balance and finesse as it enters the ultra-long finish. Today, this Barolo from Domenico Clerico already has so much to offer and should continue to drink well for years to come. (Best 2017-2027) - August, 2016 (JD)
