Friday, November 10, 2006 - Piemonte OL: Clerico (Monforte d'Alba): Barrel tasting. Very tannic, harsh, drying (expected, of course); high acidity, moderate alcohol. Big oak on the nose and palate (two years in 80-90% new oak), with insinuations of lovely fruits waiting for their turn. It’ll be a long wait, but worth it.
