Great example of what Dolcetto should be. Concentrated cherry fruit, violet, hint of pepper. Grippy tannins, great length. Good acid - a bit wound up, decant.

Highly enjoyable with plenty of violet and leatheriness and clear, pure mouthfeel. Really loved this.

Some bitterness to the high tannins, but otherwise pretty awesome. Thick texture, violets, black cherries, tobacco.
