    Castello di Neive 1998 Messoirano (Dolcetto d'Alba)

    Very purple in color. Deep grapey aromas make it extremely floral. Dried herbs, spices, and tart berry and cocoa flavors. Good and round, but a firm feel on the palate. Good grip leaves tannins to lose. One of the few Dolcettos capable of short-term aging. Best Buy.
