WTN: 2001 G. Mascarello Dolcetto d'Alba Bricco

2001 G. Mascarello Dolcetto d’Alba Bricco
$18. Another winner from Mauro Mascarello. Eucalyptus, dark fruit, dried bitter orange peel, a bit of tar with food-friendly acidity and tannins that make you notice. Lovely, and a large step up from Mascarello’s Dolcetto Santo Stefano di Perno.

Nabbed, hung, drawn and quartered when you get home William!!!!
You should see all the emails he sends me, Lil. Do not know how anything gets done around your place.

Hi Bill
I recently tried the 03 G Mascarello Dolcetto Santo Stefano and thought it was really good. It had a really nice freshness despite the 2003 vintage.

Here is my note : Very good and serious dolcetto. Lots of black fruits, berry, and purple flowers. Ripe but not over done, with big but supple tannins and great acidtity for a Dolcetto from the Year of the Sun. Longish finish. 13.5%abv, good value for $15. Definite rebuy.

I will have to look for the Dolcetto Bricco. These are great food wines.

The post from Lil is hilarious.

Hi Marc, I really liked the '01 Dolcetto Santo Stefano but the Bricco sure has more stuffing. Havent had the '03's yet but your note makes me want to give that vintage a try. You are right, they are great food wines. That's what I enjoyed most about this wine. That it drank so effortlessly with a burger.

The post from Lil is hilarious.
