April 6, 2024 - rich. has more of a blackberry tobacco richness. heavier. does not linger as long in the palate, but that could be a function of the complexity of the lamb stew
February 28, 2024 - Slow to open, but eventually displayed some character.
Remember, in my grading world, an 88 is pretty darn good.
April 21, 2023 - Really good. Nice long finish. Black fruit, cocoa, prunes. A bit of heat maybe (even though only 13% ABV) but a hugely enjoyable wine and great value for money.
February 18, 2023 - Deep purple with gentle notes of crushed black plums, mulberry, damson and old oak that run to more savoury quality as you swirl with a worn leather jacket, brown spices and toasted herbs. An open, inviting palate entry with crushed velvet to plum skin texture, warm stones, wet clay and more leather supported by granular, fairly compact tannins. Fairly good depth and mid-long length and drinking well.
February 3, 2023 - Goes well with pizza. Black fruit, earthy note with balance.
Doesn’t lose that rich aroma even after a week. Solid and classy.
July 23, 2022 - Stand by my previous assessment. After another 2 or 3 bottles, this is a definitely thoroughly enjoyable wine, goes well in most occasions, is a good gift to friends... Of course it is not amazingly complex etc. but a "valuable" wine to have in the cellar.
March 18, 2021 - Good balance of structure and fruit. Medium body, fruity aromas of blackberry and blueberry.
January 22, 2021 - Medium purple. Intense nose of blacberry jam, black cherries, chokeberry, leather, spices. Rich wine with good structure. Medium+ acidity, medium firm tanins. Long. Very good Docetto!
November 28, 2020 - Ready to drink, flavorful, goes well with food, tasty finish. Well balanced all round specially for the price, which promotes it from good to excellent. A bargain.
March 30, 2020 - Blue and black fruited (blackberries, blueberries), some spices. Simple but very drinkable with nice balance and acidity.
