1998 Barolo Ciabot Mentin Ginestra, Domenico Clerico
The birthday Barolo - the 64´s (of course!) - will be poured at our family dinner on Sunday.
The nose is deep and dark with notes of dried up cherry jam, violet licorice, red beets and asphalt. Very fine.
The taste is broad and somewhat mature with notes of chocolate covered cherries, asphalt, dried flowers and cold coffee. A long, warm finish. Entering maturity, this has 10+ more years to go.
