lo Zoccolaio Dolcetto d’Alba 2007

lo Zoccolaio Dolcetto d’Alba 2007

I was at Dan Murphys the other day, principally to buy another bottle of the Wynns Black Label Cabernet Sauvignon 2007, but I like getting the six bottle discount so this guy and the 2006 Barbera d’Alba from the same producer hitched a ride home.

A medium red in colour, with a peculiar nose, plums and spice, old wood, dusty cherries, and an oddness that I just couldn’t quite pin down. On the palate, bland fruits with dry spices and a certain savouriness. Okay length, but a bit too dry for my liking; your mileage might vary.
