Community Tasting Note

• farinas Likes this wine: 93 points

  November 27, 2013 - This Clerico is a baby in age but with a huge potential. It's tannic beyond belief, fuller body than customary for Barolo although the Monforte hills have "forte" in their names for a reason. The fruit is concentrated and fleshy and modern with new oak, with a long life ahead. I won't touch the other bottle for another 5-7 years. 93+
