2005 Roberto Voerzio Dolcetto d'Alba Priavino

**2005 Roberto Voerzio Dolcetto d'Alba Priavino (Italy, Piedmont, Alba, Dolcetto d'Alba)** The nose was very tight, even though I decanted it for about 5 hours. I got a little blackberry, earth, and licorice. The palate was extremely acidic. It had quite a bit of blackberry preserves, plus some licorice. It finished with a little earthiness. I tried it with food, but even a hearty beef stew couldn't save it. It was drinkable, but just barely. (79 pts.)
