Last had nearly two years ago, and this seems even more closed than then. Decanted 5 hours but didn’t really open all that much. Tons of cherry on the nose, which is nice. But the palate is quite unexpressive and the finish is overwrought with dusty tannins still. Another 5 years? — 2 months ago
I sold Barolos and Barbarescos from this winery with the first importer I worked for back in the early 80s. It’s been in the decanter about an hour, and though the lightish color shows maturity, some fruit is emerging g to join with the intense mahogany furniture/old library scents. Incense too, along with faded rose petals. Very classic. In the mouth, it’s powerful and somewhat austere. Not a fruity wine. Still a fair amount of tannin present. The austerity and power will pair nicely with the braised oxtails (coda alla vaccinara) that are almost ready. — 4 months ago
"Odedi"
Pale reddish in color with light intensity.
Light red fruits on the nose, and medium bodied with medium plus acidity.
Dry on the palate with nice complexity.
Showing raspberries, cherries, spices, peppercorn, light wood, coffee, herbs and light vegetables.
Tangy finish with round tannins and tangy pomegranates.
This 5 year old Barolo is young and elegant. Showing nice balance with good structure.
Has enough acidity to last it for a while. Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years. Would be nice to revisit it in 7 years.
Easy drinking and better with food.
100% Nebbiolo grapes were aged for 18 months in large Slavonian oak barrels.
14% alcohol by volume.
90 points.
