Pretty decent Italian red here. Dolcetto is something I've covered before, but this is a more upmarket version, or at least the price would have you think so.It came across initially as a somewhat serious wine, with a deep, concentrated cherry fruit nose and good depth of flavour. However I found its effect diminished somewhat over the course of the meal, and by then end seemed more like a cheerful pizza wine, although one of good quality.
I think it's overpriced at £10.99. £7 or £8 would seem more reasonable to me. This is something you see often at Oddbins - they can't really compete with places such as Waitrose for value. Hopefully with the new ownership we'll start to see some more exciting things happening.
