2019 Pecchenino "Brico Botti" Dogliani Superiore

93 Points from Vinous: "The 2019 Dogliani Superiore Bricco Botti impresses with its aromatic breadth and overall complexity. Dried leaves, iron, lavender, game and pipe tobacco meld into a core of dark-fleshed fruit, with firm, muscular tannins that provide the frame. There's plenty to admire in this rich Dogliani."

92 Points from Jeb Dunnuck: "Deep ruby with a hint of purple, the 2019 Dogliani Superiore Bricco Botti is floral and spicy, with scorched earth, black raspberry, pressed violets, and smoke. Grippy and nervy with acidity, it has notes of Earl Grey tea, smoke, meaty black cherry, and turned soil. It needs time but is an impressive expression of what Dolcetto can be. Drink 2025-2035. This is the last vintage Pecchenino is producing of this wine." (5/4/23)

91 Points from Wine Enthusiast Magazine: "Intensely dark in color, this brooding Dolcetto slowly awakens with aromas of black-plum jam, dried fig, violets and licorice. Well-balanced with dark-hued fruits in perfect concert with earthy and savory flavors that give the wine a complexity and depth that will continue to evolve in the cellar. Drink now–2035." (5/1/24)

90 Points from Wine Spectator: "Saturated flavors of blackberry, plum, earth and almond mark this dense red. Solidly built, with balance, fine length and time to give. Drink now through 2027. 10,000 cases made, 1,000 cases imported." (11/30/22)
