1999 Destifanis Dolcetto d'Alba Dolcetto d'Alba, Piedmont, Italy WB Rating: 82 Alcohol by volume: 12.0% Price at time of purchase: $12.00 (North Berkeley Wine Imports) Type: Dolcetto Principal varietal(s): Dolcetto Black cherry and licorice-like nose, similar to a Carignan. Chunky and rustic feeling in the mouth, with reasonable grip, lots of tannin, but absolutely no flavor. If the flavors cracked open a little this could be a mid-80's wine, but since Dolcetto's are typically made to be drunk young, it's not clear that this will happen here. Puzzling wine. - HK 2002-06-26 [Back] |
