    Domenico Clerico, Barolo, Ciabot Mentin Ginestra, 1999

    Flamboyant, untamed flavours of prunes, hedgerow fruit and dark chocolate bolstered by firm tannins.

    Even after all these years, the 2001 Barolo Ciabot Mentin Ginestra is still massively tannic and buried by oak. Hints of espresso, mocha, licorice and spice struggle to emerge over time. The 2001 Ginestra was so exciting when it was young but that potential never seemed to materialize. At this point, I don't see the wine ever being in balance.
