  A nice wine, fruit was a little duller this time and fading. Mature, drink up over the next couple of years

  PNP, note taken after 2 hours air. Muted aromas of cigar box, tobacco, and wood, the wine presents a layered profile of cherry, eucalyptus, almond, and then minerals and Dogliana dirt. More cherry fruit emerges on the medium long finish where some spice elements also fold into the slightly dry, but mostly integrated, tannins. A bigger than normal Dolcetto, it still went great with stuffed chicken breasts on polenta. Drink now through 2017, no hurry.

  This wine has evolved a lot over the last year, although I don't think it was in the best way. The fruit is toned down a bit, and although the strong vegetal flavor that was present upon opening faded with air, it lingered with the finish that had a nice cherry/red berry start. This wine is still delicious though, great dolcetto, perfect with home made pizza or pasta. I've got 2 more bottles that I plan on drinking over the next year or so.

  dried flowers and crushed berries come across the nose, well-made, nice texture with a dry edge, blue fruit, plum sauce and earth on the palate, a spine of acid makes this an excellent food wine, there exists an uplifting juiciness which adds to the appeal

  Red fruits, mint, menthol aromas, this is a full throttle dolcetto full of cherry and raspberry fruit flavors with hints of darker fruits like blackberry. Fully extracted, this wine finishes silky with more red fruit flavors and not the typical dry tannins associated with dolcetto. This wine can also age and will improve over the next 2-5 years.
