esbrown reviewed Villa Ile Dolcetto d'Alba 2003 on March 20, 2006

Lots of pink and purple in the glass, with a serious blue tint. The nose is ripe and syrupy, with gobs of red fruits and perfume. Smells like a raspberry pie, dipped in perfume. On the palate there are red cherry and currant notes, along with stones, minerals and a little lemony acidity. Grape tannins and some dry oak round out the finish, but there is no continuity to this wine. It feels out of phase.
