2022 Bolgheri Superiore Argentiera Parker The Domenico Clerico 2019 BaroloSuckling: 96 There is a lot of delicacy and elegance in this wine. Aromas of butter, milk chocolate,vibrant cassis, red cherries, fresh violets, cloves and smoky wood. Full bodied, it shows merlot flavors on the palate, with ripe filigreed tannins, refreshing acidity and meaty flavors. Long sweet blond tobacco aftertaste. Drinkable now, but best from 2026.
