Score 16/20 · Drink 2010-2013, Tamlyn Currin, jancisrobinson.com, Mar 2010

A charming buoyant warm-berry perfume. Rounded but fairly rustic tannins, cherry lozenge and a touch of 'digestif' bitterness. Medicinal, herbal, lots of character and tart sassy fruit. Not fine or high brow but pleasant drinking. (TC)

Score 87/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Nov 2009

(done entirely in stainless steel tank) Dark red. Sour cherry, menthol and mint on the nose. Juicy and quite dry, with bright acidity giving a cool quality to the medicinal flavors of cherry, fresh herbs and spices. Finishes slightly tart and a bit youthfully clenched, with good length. Very typical of this vintage for dolcetto.
