This is undoubtedly one of the greatest Dolcetto d'Albas I have tasted. While it will not make old bones, for drinking over the immediate future, this awesome, black/purple-colored 1999 provides a glorious perfume of violets, black fruits, and mocha. Super-rich yet not heavy, beautifully pure and fleshy, with tremendous palate presence, it will drink well for 2-3 years. An amazing achievement!
