April 15, 2021 - Mix of plums and raisin aromas with anise and fresh dill. Sour cherry and red plums with good tannic backbone. Drink now

June 20, 2020 - Soilid effort, honest, direct dolcetto. Balanced, rich, slightly bitter edged, seem like it was a short maceration with goal to get good juice and let the juice speak for itself. Happy to drink.

June 17, 2019 - Lively acidity and velvety tannin profile over boysenberry, plum and currant flavors with hints of bay and cooking herbs. Very tasty and great for food.

March 7, 2019 - Bu sur recommandation d'un conseiller de la SAQ. Robe assez opaque et foncée. Jolie nez un peu timide, muscade, cannelle, fruits noirs. La bouche est surprenante: je m'attendais à un fruit généreux et solaire, alors que je suis devant un vin équilibré dans son genre mais marquée par une fraîcheur et une acidité intense. Étrangement, ce vin est peu tannique mais il me semble néanmoins bien structuré avec une longueur appréciable dans cette catégorie. Sans nourriture, c'est agréable mais un peu austère. Un autre italien fait pour se révéler véritablement à table. Je bois très rarement des Dolcetto: ce vin constitue une belle découverte pour moi. 88-89
