Not as good as the last bottle. Good ruby color, solid structure. Very reserved nose, after a while some earthy tones, wild flowers, and a bit of sour cherries. Fading tannins, but good in the mouth. We shall see how it shows itself on the second day.

Nice wine. Haven't had a Dolcetto in a while. This is dark red in color, no brown edges yet. Reserved nose of blackberries, smoked bacon, earth. Good balance but a bit short on the finish. Well rounded and easy drinking wine with variety of foods (had it with grilled vegetables, baked ham, salad, cheese).

This 07 has a good chance of surpassing the 06 with some bottle age. Rustic and rough around the edges right now, with good tannic stuffing. Nice reddish purple color. Good red fruits on the nose with some underbrush and a bit of sweet cocoa. Round tannins right now make this a tough nut to crack. Good fruit and a decent finish.
