In what other wine can you taste Cab and Merlot blended with Dolcetto? I can't think of any either... The '99 is at its prime right now, alive and kicking. It will never be great, but it's pretty damn good.

Solid wine, 15 years young from the 1999 vintage. Cabernet from Piedmonte region of Italy. Tastes like a Bordeaux, but with more acidity and mineral character you see in Nebbiolo from these parts of Italy. Plenty of life left. 5-7 years easy or more. Fine, but firm tannins frame the finish of dried currants and cherry with some grilled herbs

Blind this would have been pegged as an aged cru bourgeois ... Which I happen to love in general ! Thank you John Rimmerman (1999 vintage Italian cab)

Feb 28th, 2016A little different for a cab blend, is it the Dolecetto? Some dark fruits, lots of minerality, which after an hour or two faded to notes of leather. I liked it.
