The 2006 Langhe Bricco del Drago (Dolcetto and Nebbiolo) has developed beautifully since I tasted it last year. Dark fruit, smoke, tobacco and licorice flow through to a muscular, powerful finish. If anything I may have originally underestimated this wine’s structure, as today it looks like it needs at least another year or two in bottle. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2018.
