Azelia Dolcetto d'Alba Bricco Dell'oriolo 2003

Light garnet in color, but certainly not light in flavor! Lovely aromas of red and black raspberries, baked cherries, light topsoil and white truffles linger above the glass. The palate has a nice mix of red raspberry, red currants and dust over savory herbal accents. Long and slightly tannic for a Dolcetto, but with none of the pruny aspect found in some '03s.
