  Others liked this more than me. There was something that smelled off, to me. I thought it was a raw peanut smell. I'd like to try again sometime on it's own. Ann said she thought there was a metallic quality to it.

  Serious Dolcetto--ripe, rich, elegant, but tangy and showing enough respect for tradition to avoid any sappiness. Rises above.

  Sublimely delicious. Just a remarkable balance for people, like me, who want a tannic bite that melds into a terrific, restrained, fruit-driven mid-palate and then finishes with length, depth and the tiniest touch of heat and black pepper. Black cherry and maybe a hint of eucalyptus biting around the edges make this an old world gem that, I guess, has some new world richness but it is surely a fully European wine. Have worked through a few cases and been happy with each cork pulled.

  Medium to lean in body, good fruit with a formidable spine of acid, tannin, and earthy spice to go with it. Gotta love it with your favorite pasta dish on a Tuesday. Warning: This needs the better part of an hour to begin to open, and this bottle really developed after two hours. From 36 year old vines and it shows. Serious Dolcetto.
