This very good, dark colored, dark fruited Dolcetto was not a successful pairing with my tomato based meat sauce. I should know better! This wine is a star with Cinnamon's bacon and brochli rave pasta- I should have saved it for that!

Аромат весьма типичный, характерный, ежевика, жимолость, черемуха, дымноватый, суховатый. Вкус сдержанный, черно-ягодный, с горчинкой, пряный. Танины суховатые, послевкусие умеренное. 15/20 (82/100)

Nose hits you big juicy tart fruit and a little what I thought was spearmint at first but I think it's closer to cola. Taste is like sour cherry with a sweet dark fruit undertone and more of that mint/cola note. Fresh acidity, verging on too much, and lots of tannin that leaves a bitter finish. I know Dolcetto is known for the bitter almond finish but I felt it was more of a bitter olive note. This was a unique and enjoyable wine for me, refreshing in this summer heat, really good QPR too

The nose is dark berries with a pepper overtone. The body is even and hints at rich berry notes but ends quick with a smooth, drying finish.
