Clerico 'Ciabot Mentin Ginestra' Barolo 2001 Drinking just right now with both richness and some sediment so, good time for enjoying in my opinion. Bold depth of black cherry aromatics, fennel and iron. Paired with braised lamb verdetto. (Thank you Nunzio & Joanne Alioto)

At Jonathon and Shila Not sure the nose but the palate erupts with cherry cassis and fruit I have never had before. Some tannins persist and lasts months. Clerico not disappointing tonight.

Drinking great. Everything a great Barolo should be. Still has great color. Tannins have softened but are still there.

18.09.20 PnP, opens up in 20 min in the glass, fully mature, seems in the beginning of sliding down the peak, lots of sediment. Overall very good but not as impressive as other vintages around -1996,98,04

Close to undrinkable in first 24 hrs. From that point onwards better though way too much oak taste. Not impressed.

Coravined this baby four or five times, then finished it. Closer to a barbaresco, but a lovely, soft, well structured Barolo.
