This has aged perfectly. Almost overwhelming red fruit nose that is also present on the palate with a hint of molasses sweetness and faint note of allspice. Tannins are subdued and integrated. Extremely enjoyable at this stage.

Gobs of blackberry on the nose with a hints of molasses, clove, and orange peel (oddly). Big and bold on the palate with flavors of black plum and a little rose petal. Primarily fruit-driven with high (balanced) acidity. Tannins are still integrating but very drinkable. A really nice effort by Del Dotto. Worth it (unlike some of their other wines).

Okd world style napa cab. Really aged gracefully. Lost a bit of fruit as expected but very well balanced. Outstanding drink up any you have left now.

This wine did not cellar well. Had to pour out. Very disappointed that it did not taste good after 10 years despite supposedly drinkable until 2022.
