The black/purple-colored 2000 Dolcetto d'Alba possesses extremely powerful, concentrated, monolithic, chunky, dense, full blast flavors. If a few additional nuances emerge from behind the mass of fruit and body, this wine will merit an outstanding score. However, readers need to keep in mind that these wines rarely improve, so even this offering requires consumption during its first 3-4 years of life. Importer: Vias Imports, New York, NY; tel.
