This weekend we opened the 2018 Domenico Clerico Azienda Agricola Di Viberti Giuliana-Monforte D' Alba Barolo.

On the nose there is cherry, raspberry, cranberry, licorice, roses, clay pots and dusty soil.

On the palate there is cherry, raspberry, cranberry, anise, rose hip, leather and dried herbs.

This wine is medium to full bodied medium+ to high acidity and medium+ firm tannins that move into a long red and black fruit leathery finish. Enjoy the weekend and please stay safe and healthy. Nostrovia! šŸ·šŸ·šŸ·šŸ·

Good value. Cherries and leather. Soft tannins. So resolved.

Classic Barolo. Great right out of the bottle though, only getting better.

Ripe red cherries, a hint of tar layered with rose petals followed by a firm finish coupled with fresh tobacco. The wine is still quite young and needs to settle down. Alcohol in this wine is quite high.

Latest vintage from imho a great producer, this wine is rather dark in color for the variety, ruby red with brick hues, clear; boquet of flowers and a concentrated dark-fruity nose with cherries, tobacco leaves, tar, and some light chocolate; rich tannic on the palate with dried dates and cherries, and a long chest burning delicious finish. Had with Danish and French cheeses and Spanish ham. Finally Friday!

New straight Barolo bottling from Clerico and a well done job at that. Accessible early with a good decant. Will be terrific in a couple of years.
