Product Description
RP95 "1999 Barolo Ciabot Mentin Ginestra—Dark ruby. The Ciabot Mentin Ginestra comes across as a bit more subdued than the Pajana but not one bit less captivating. It features a nuanced nose of violets, flowers, and menthol along with layers of sweet dark fruit that coat the palate with much persistence in a style that is both delicate and powerful at the same time. Much more open than when last tasted a year ago, it is a remarkable Barolo." AG for TWA Apr 2006
AG95 "The 1999 Barolo Ciabot Mentin Ginestra is a deep, emotional wine that brings back so many memories of tasting at the old Clerico winery with Domenico Clerico, his then winemaker Massimo Conterno and the team. Deep, rich and explosive on the palate, the 1999 Ciabot captures the spirit of the vintage and this era in Piedmont with its voluptuous depth, stunning richness and exceptional balance. Dark plum, mocha, espresso, spices and grilled herbs saturate the palate in a vivid, nuanced wine that is simply spellbinding." AG for VM Nov 2012
