Elio Altare Dolcetto d'Alba 2007
Piedmont, ItalyBig ash, barnyard, meaty, medicinal, resin, smoky, earthy nose. Ripe, rich, round, full palate with supple tannins and good acidity. Peppery, meaty, smoky, black cherry, plum, earthy, liquorice aromas. Well balanced with good intensity but somewhat at odds with its slightly rustic, dirty aromas. Decant for 30 minutes for best results.Tasted: 11 January 2011Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $35.00 | 750ml |
