  (Blind verkostet, 13.5% Alkohol) Kräftiges Rubinrot. Kräuterwürzige Nase, feuchter Stein, Teer, Brombeere. Im Gaumen gradlinig, etwas karg, verhaltene Frucht, gute Säure, eher kurz im Abgang. Ein Wein mit Ecken und Kanten, braucht ein Stück Fleisch. Bis 2028 geniessen.

  Intensely perfumed: if wine was just for smelling, and not a drink, then I'd have to award this a massive score, as the suave aromas of leather, petal and spice were utterly intoxicating. Somewhat rawer on the palate, though, and in fact I suspect the wine could've done with a couple more years in bottle, as the tart, liquoricey fruit was exceedingly primary and there remained some occasionally obtrusive sandy tannins towards the finish. Very glad to have tried (and, in particular, smelled) this, though.

  Juicy cherry and leather. Expressive and open but capable of going for a few years.

  A super classic and authentic Dolcetto, from a vintage that brought sap, intensity and a meaty, juicy cherry fruit. A Dolcetto with substance and identity. Beautiful to drink now and over the next couple of years.

  Black cherry, cool fruit, forest fruit, dried fruit, dried leaves, earl grey tea. Earl Grey Milk tea on the palate. Smoky finish. Outstanding Dolcetto.
