A masterwork from Domenico Clerico, one of Barolo's most respected modernist voices. Ciabot Mentin, from the celebrated Ginestra hillside in Monforte d'Alba, delivers layers of sweet spices, menthol, violets, and dark fruit on a powerful, sculpted frame. Now nearly twenty years old, the massive tannins have integrated beautifully, revealing underlying architecture of tar, smoke, and licorice. A wine that rewards patience and will continue evolving gracefully.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 95
"Good deep, saturated red with ruby tones. Lovely perfume of black cherry, plum, soy sauce, cinnamon and flowers; reticent but deep. A silky, intense midweight that's considerably richer than the Pajana. The highly aromatic red fruit flavors really blossomed in the glass with aeration. Finishes round, lush and broad, with harmonious acids and tannins and lingering perfume. This one has the mid-palate material to support its tannins. Clerico's '05 are wonderfully elegant wines." -Stephen Tanzer

Jancis Robinson

"Dark crimson. Very serious and high toned. Thick with vegetation scents. Looks very exciting with a hint of rose petal."

Wine Spectator

WS 95
"Perfumed and aromatic, with fresh ripe strawberry and toasty oak. Full-bodied, with focused, chewy tannins and loads of wood and jammy fruit. Powerful."
