Bartolo Mascarello Dolcetto d'Alba Monrobiolo Rue 2008

Dolcetto d, Italy

WineSaint
Dark cherry and licorice wrapped in formidable tannins and bracing acidity. Tar and herbs add complexity to this austere, tightly-wound expression. The 2008's challenging vintage shows in the wine's rigorous structure, where fruit currently hides behind an unyielding framework. Needs patience. Cellar until spring 2010 or beyond.
