2008 Clerico Barolo Ciabot Mentin

Media Reviews

Antonio Galloni

The 2008 Barolo Ciabot Mentin is a little more interesting than the Pajana, but not much. It shows good energy and length, but never seems to truly blossom in the way the best vintages typically do. Flowers, mint, licorice and red berries are woven into the long, saline finish. Today the Ciabot Mentin comes across as compact, austere and lacking fruit. It shows good up-front energy, but then tails off abruptly on the mid-palate. Drink 2014-2022. 92 points

Mid ruby with orange-tinged rim. Spicy and firmly in the dried-fruit spectrum but with depth. Quite muscular, clayey tannin. Multilayered finish, with the fruit coming out. Demanding tannin, so needs time, but very long. 17.5 points
