2018 Domenico Clerico Barolo 'Ciabot Mentin'

96 Points Monica Larner, The Wine Advocate (August 2022)
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

The 2018 Domenico Clerico Ciabot Mentin shows a surprisingly firm structure for the vintage, with close-grained tannins supporting juicy cranberry, strawberry, cinnamon and star anise before a menthol finish.

Monforte d'Alba. A little subdued and closed compared with Pajana. Great purity on the nose and with beautifully integrated oak and savoury-sweet cherry fruit. Compact fruit palate with lots of juice and grainy tannins built like a house. Fantastic length and focus and energy.
