Dark garnet to the edge, touch of fruit on the nose with red plum. Smooth, medium bodied, red plum, maybe blackberry too. More fruit forward & lighter than expected. — 17 days ago
In the zone now. First wine in eight days due to the flu. Thankful no COVID-19. Nose is spicey, ebullient and ripe. Juicy nose if possible. Mega Barbera fruit but also a Cornas like granitic tension. Wonderful deep and big berries. Palate is fresh and elegant with lovey linearity and freshness. Gotten more nimble as it ages. Very sappy and pure. Opulent but only just so. Great acids, balance and freshness. So so pure. Excellent showing. — 25 days ago
Best on day 3! Had this wine a number of times but was most impressed with the longevity of this most recent bottle. — 3 days ago
Easy to drink wine. Intense wood and tobacco on the nose. A little sour on the aftertaste but not bad. — 4 days ago
Dirty earth and leather. Big. Maybe too big. Not much Barbera, but I kind of like it anyway? Not the oak/fruit bomb I feared though — 10 days ago

Stumbling on a Dolcetto from Fenocchio is like finding a discarded sketch from DaVinci. Took a while to open up but gave hints of dark fruits. Relatively dry (despite the name) with grippy tannins. With weeknight shish taouk. — 3 days ago
