Clean and jammy, with the fruit complemented by subtle notes of herbs and mint. The chewy tannins suggest to me that this could even last a few more years.

Interesting that the scores for this wine seem to be all over the place. I found it simple but quite enjoyable. Solidly "good" (84 pts). I don't recall ever having a Dolcetto d'Alba which was very complex so I think this is typical of my experience. Good acid and a focused red fruit flavor lend well to food. As with most Italian wines, in my experience, this was made to accent food rather than impress alone.

Nose of rose petals and wet cedar. Candied strawberry and jam. Very one dimensional.

Great stuff and about as good as it gets for Dolcetto. Nicely rustic with good fruit, earth and acidity. Great match with food. Vajra wines rock.
