Community Tasting Notes 4

  November 20, 2022 - Dark magenta robe with a whisper of bricking. Black raspberry, violets, cherry pit, and dark earth on the nose. Dense and still a bit tannic on the palate, but not monolithic nor necessarily “heavy.” But as befits the reputation of Dogliani, this is serious Dolcetto. Dark fruit and black tea and a bit of graphite dwell within—there’s good acidity and nearly brooding earthiness, but it’s all balanced nicely. While French wine drinkers will try to give context to Dolcetto by comparing it to Beaujolais, this is more Moulin-à-Vent or Coudert than a light, fruity, quaffing red. There’s structure and sap here, so don’t be afraid of a lighter braised ragu with polenta or perhaps delicata squash risotto or maybe even some grilled quail. I enjoy this a lot and heartily recommend with the caveat, that this cries out for heartier, even rustic flavors. Thanks to Trevor at Discovery for the bottle(s).

  September 28, 2022 - Earthiness and dry. Blackberry, plums and some oak. Opened up nicely after a while.

  November 21, 2021 - Oldschool oak-aged dolcetto, sturdy and structured with ample body and concentration. Somewhat bitter in as serious way, demands food. Will certainly keep and develop for the rest of this decade.
