Community Tasting Note

Monday, October 26, 2015 - It's some time since I opened a Dolcetto and this one was not the "fun" wine I was expecting. I couldn't find any old TNs of mine as calibrators in a quick search but I did find an excellent article by Asimov. He points out that the key to Dolcetto is a balance between sweet, bitter and earthy elements and adds that, contrary to Barbera, tannis are more prominent than acidity. The element missing here was the sweet one and an added element was a touch of leather. The result was a quite strong and savoury tasting but rather hard and charmless wine which did unbend a little with air and greater warmth towards the end of the bottle. Fair unbending towards good.
