I can only describe tasting Domenico Clerico's 2014 and 2013 Barolos as bittersweet. This past summer, on a late Sunday evening, the news that had been in the air finally arrived. Domenico Clerico had passed away after a long battle with cancer. I have lost track of the number of epic tastings I had in Clerico's winery over the years. One of the most vocal exponents of the modern school in Barolo, Clerico had recently come to the feel that, in essence, he really did not care for the wines that had brought him so much critical and popular acclaim, especially during the mid-1990s. Unfortunately for Clerico, that realization came late in life. Clerico subsequently worked to find a more moderate style. But these things take time, often years, and Clerico passed away before he could see his new vision through to completion. Tasting these wines is like looking at an unfinished canvas. There is enough to see the direction of a work in progress, but the painting is not finished. The responsibility for that now lies with Clerico's widow, Giuliana, and her team. Clerico did not bottle their Percristina Barolo in 2012 or 2013.
