  Overligger fra kjelleren. Dufter lovende, litt kjeller/jordsmonn. Første smak mangler frukt, men syren og tanninene er der, ganske overraskende. Er noen år over toppen er første tanke. Kommer seg litt i glasset, noe kjøttaktig både i lukt og smak. Savner primerfrukt, litt syltet kirsebær er eneste ankeret her. Kunne sikret egnet seg en til en mør ytrefilet som f. eks hjort/rådyr med enkelt tilbehør.

  Medium purple core. Medium plus intensity with youthful but somewhat settled aromas of black berry, black cherry and smoked ham. Medium acidity, medium ripe and well integrated tannins. Medium plus lenght. In my opinion a textbook/reference Dolcetto from one of the greatest! This was my only bottle, bought a year ago. Considering the colour of the wine and primary state of the fruit I would imagine this wine could develope further for the next 2-3 years and should be drunk within 4.

  Great dolcetto. Give it some time in advance. Consitant with previous note.

  Deep red, purple rim. Dark red fruit on the nose, hints of oak, marsipan, sweet licorize and sour cherries. On the palate the fruit is cooler, complex, soft tannins. Fresh, good length on the finish. Elegant.
  
  A really nice dolcetto!

  The first that hits you when you open this, is that you should have waited. Patience, my dear, is a virtue. Rinaldi makes Dolcetto in the mold of Altare, Cavallotto, Massolino, and Cappellano, and is much like the Doglianis, a wine that gets better with some bottle age. That said, it is way too good not to like right now. It adds minerality to the normal dark berry nose of a dolcetto. It is fruity and fresh, precise, and long on the finish. Much more complex and “interesting” than many of the run-of-the-mill dolcettos on offer everywhere http://bit.ly/H8EaU2
