Tuesday Night Double Blind <$40 (Alpharetta, GA): Dark core, dull reddish violet rim; dried red and dark fruit, plum, prune, spicy, concrete dust, roses; harder tannin, juicy acid, black currant, plum, raspberry, felt this needed more time; called super-Piemontese like Luigi Einaudi.

In very good condition at the moment, medium garnet with great lustre. Red fruits and coffee on the nose, a little meat and leather. But it is still very fresh. High in acid, pretty low in tannin and with a wonderful freshness of fruit with complexity and concentration of tertiary flavours - coffee, truffle, leather... but I think it could last another 3-5 years. I would drink from 2017...

Peak drinking right now with no signs of being past its prime. Great balance of acidity, fruit and tannins. Very fresh and delicious. A steal at $23. Should have bought more.

I was on a bourbon kick all winter and drank very little wine. This week, with the last of our cool spring weather, I decided to open a few bottles with some rustic Italian and am quite pleased to say they revived my passion for wine. This and the 2012 Sottimano Dolcetto d'Alba Bric del Salto are everything I want in a wine- tasty, great acidity with a long finish. I will be sorry when the summer forces rose and whites on me.

Still a little fruit left, but it's running out of time
