First time trying Domenico Clerico. Definitely can see how this leans a bit to the more powerful side but can’t argue with the quality and depth. Lots of balsamic, tar, and flowers. Great acid and tannins are still present but in check. Long finish. Fun one to try. — 2 months ago

Compared to the Domenico Clerico Barolo Ciabot Mentin Ginestra this still had plenty going on and I think would have gotten better with more time. Some berries and tar stood out but busy evening.

This wine paired well with both barbacoa and mole poblano. Two different Mexican dishes that are often hard to pair with wine. The sweetness of the mole blended well with the fruitiness of the wine. — 4 years ago

Founded in 1979 by Giovanni Cantele and his two sons Augusto and Domenico. Ruby with big fruit aromas with sweet jammy notes. On the palate concentrated berry fruit flavors, a bit jammy and sweet, lively acidity, surprisingly great balance. Firm tannins yielding a medium finish ending with noticeable alcohol. Good value for a wine with a bit of complexity. — 6 years ago

Still super young, slowly opens up only after 48h!
Very fruit for a Sfursat, with ripe dark berries and blackberry jam, a touch of kirsch and some leather & spices in the background. On the palate more Sfursat like, the spices and richness comes out yet his one has a juicy acidity that is singing! Impeccably balanced, layered, complex yet elegant and with polished tannins. A beautiful wine - just don’t open it yet! — 8 years ago

Great examplar of the old school Barolo…decanted 90 mins….seriously pungent/truly gorgeous nose, more refined on the palate but lots of fruit, still a bit wooden/tannic - not offensively so but could probably mellow another 5 years. But very drinkable now, perfect with a heavy roast. Nose is so fragrant I could go around sniffing this all day — 6 months ago

A great example of Clerico's trademark combination of ripe dark fruit and spice and brown sugar, and with a touch of florality, it is drinking very well now. It won't be mistaken for a traditional Barolo, but it has plenty of its own charms to offer and deserves to be appreciated for what it is more than for what it isn't. — 8 years ago

Presented to me double-blind at Tasting Group. The wine pours a deep garnet color with an opaque core and a orangish rim; medium+ viscosity with amber staining of the tears and signs of sediment. On the nose, the wine is vinous with notes of desiccated cherry, dried red flowers, mushroom, leather and earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with high tannin and medium acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. The alcohol is high. This is a wine showing signs of age but there’s enough evidence to lead me to where this should be from.

Initial conclusions: this could be Grenache, Tempranillo, Nebbiolo or Sangiovese from Spain, France or Italy. For me, there’s too much expensive, small format oak for me to be in Piemonte. This could be Brunello…or Chateauneuf du Pape but for the similar reasons, I didn’t like that call even though there are certainly more producers in those areas making wine like this. I then vacillated between Chateauneuf and Priorat with 20+ years of age. Final conclusion: Grenache from Spain, Priorat, 2005. Oooof…I need to remember that people made/make wine’s like this in Piemonte. The signs were there, even though the oak use and extraction were super modern. This is why we practice! Drink now. — 4 months ago

Not much has changed with this delicious Nebbiolo. This time we decanted it for 2.5 hours while cooking up home made butter chicken. It’s a light to medium colour, reminiscent of natural strawberry or raspberry juice. Fresh smell of vanilla, strawberries, roses, flowers and hint of smokiness. Taste; starts of with fresh red fruits and vanilla. In the middle there is mild to medium leather chewiness. Also there is a definite subtle cigar box smell and some kind of chocolate. It finishes off with a fresh acidity that complements the beginning and middle. Overall, red fruit and rose Nebbiolo that has good complexity and fresh acidity that keeps you engaged. The butter chicken was great as well. — 8 years ago
