90(+?) Points | International Wine Cellar , November/December 2011

(a selection from the best rows of vines; aged for a year in large oak barrel):  Bright ruby.  Medicinal black cherry aroma mellowed by sweet oak and a whiff of honey.  Fat, sweet and nicely balanced in the middle palate, but quite primary today and in need of time in bottle to absorb its slightly aggressive tannins.  (The Einaudi family has steadily increased production of dolcetto since purchasing a prime vineyard in the favored San Luigi area of Dogliani, at a time when many other growers are abandoning this variety.)
