September 30, 2011 - notes from 24 hours open on the counter.
nose: a bit meaty, definitely savory, though some prune is also showing through, which I'm less into.
palate:the herbs and prunes have a rustic edge to them. THe acid is high-ish, countering a full onslaught of prune juice, thankfully. The red fruit seems a bit muddy and heavy, but it is not distasteful. Tannins are light. Great for pasta night. Probably wouldn't buy a $20 wine for pasta night again, though. -

July 5, 2010 - Cherry, strawberry and raspberry bringing nice tartness on the nose. Florals, herbs and some meaty nuances.
Medium bodied with balanced acidity and tasty tannic grip. Slightly earthy and floral.
A perfectly decent Dolcetto. -
