  Pop and pour. Lovely nose of lilacs, tar, and a bit of cinnamon. Juicy red and black fruit. Long finish of tar and black fruit with a spicy bite on the finish. Incredible length for a dolcetto.

  An incredibly floral and beautiful bottle of this wine. Great depth but on a lighter frame. The 2012 has aged very well since my last bottle in March and is lovely now.

  Different from all other dolcetti we've ever tasted, also lighter in colour. Red-fruity, with fresh herbal notes, strawberries, redcurrants, rowanberries and hiprose. Seriously charming and easy-drinking, with fairly light body and density, as well as great balance. Outstanding without any doubt. Drink now.

  This bottle tasted more refined and serious than one drunk last year. There was a delightful hint of cooked strawberry to the taste and smell - which is not to say that the wine was at all sweet - as well as floral and faintly gamey notes.
