2000 | Nebbiolo
Domenico Clerico; Pajana (Ginestra)
Piedmont - Langhe; Barolo, Monforte d'Alba, Italy
(92-94; Drink 2030-40)
Nose has cherry jam, wet leather, stewed red fruits, sweet tobacco and dark chocolate.
Palate has cherry mash, moist chocolate brownie, cedar and sea salt. Fading but present tannins.
12H decant, still needs airing, long life ahead. I'm a fan of 2000 Baroli. — 4 months ago
Surprisingly deep ruby in color but while it didn’t resemble most Nebbiolo wines to the eye it was clearly there on nose and palate. Black cherry, red cherry, cranberry, plum, violet, rose, tar, leather, cedar, truffle, prune, dried cherry, eart and forest floor. Terrific balance of the opulent flavors with the high acidity and ripe tannin. This was terrific. — 5 months ago

Got this wine as a Christmas gift. It’s really lovely and unique. Nose = slate, chalk, terra cotta and ocean air. Body = medium. Some good acidity but not overbearing. Main flavors = cranberry and under ripened pineapple. Some sweetness mid palate with a pleasant dry finish. — 4 months ago

Deep purple in color (I can only see light through the edges of the glass); cassis, black cherries, and graphite on the nose; medium acidity; high tannins; tastes like raspberries, blackberries, hibiscus, wet gravel, and a hint of black pepper with a long fruity finish. I love this wine. Nellie doesn't Iike it. — 22 days ago
