2010 Domenico Clerico Barolo Aeroplan Servaj

Clerico's 2010 Barolo Aeroplan Servaj is sweet, perfumed and very pretty. Rose petal, mint sweet spices, licorice are some of the aromas that meld together in the glass. This is the most perfumed, floral and lifted of Clerico 2010 Barolos. Readers will have to give the 2010 a few years to absorb the oak.

"The 2010 Barolo Aeroplan Servaj is a wine of celestial aspiration. It soars in beauty and intensity, imparting delicate aromas of wild berry, blue flower and balsam herb as it makes its steady ascent. It shows the best of Serralunga d'Alba. The quality of fruit is tonic and compact with enormous inner tension and verve. There is a subtle, but determined, vein of acidic freshness that adds impressive length and persistency to the finish. It drives the wine forward over the palate with increased momentum and forward thrust. Barolo Aeroplan Servaj definitely needs more cellar time to lose some of its nervous energy. This wine should age gracefully and very slowly." www.erobertparker.com

First, I was delighted to see the man himself in such high spirits and good shape. Second, the wines we sampled together all showed the impeccable precision that sets this estate apart from its peers. Third, I learned of some minor changes at the winery (such as the introduction of a new base Barolo with a blend of fruit from various sites) that will solidify Clerico's positioning in foreign markets. eRobertParker.com.June, 2015
