Dried boysenberries, red plums, rose petals, cedar, red licorice and caramelized oranges all come into view. The full-bodied palate weaves its way masterfull through layered, vibrant red fruit, casting a far-reaching web of intricate tannin detail and punchy acidity. Very long on the finish. Drink from 2023.

The 2015 Barolo Aeroplan Servaj, from a parcel in Baudana, is the most successful of Clerico's 2015s, as it has handled the rigors of the year well. Bright red cherry, blood orange, mint, spice, anise and pine give the 2015 a lovely upper register of aromatics, while veins of Serralunga add energy as well as persistence. This is very nicely done.
