Full bouquet of eucalyptus,violets,liquorice candy, so much Barolo! Some soft tannins,fruit and great length! With elk-filet and chantarelles. (834 views) | | | Tasted by Klugi Wine on 10/19/2019 & rated 92 points: Quite a behemoth still primary at 13 years of age. Nose of black cherries, violets, blood and some umami. On the palate the tannins are still going strong and it needed 2-3 hours for them to settle down. I would decant it for at least 3 hours or wait another 5 years. (1053 views) | | | Tasted by daffydahl on 1/2/2018 & rated 92 points: still some tannins. perhaps 2 more years in cellar (1538 views) | | | Tasted by Ramberg on 11/16/2016 & rated 91 points: Yearly truffle dinner at the great Italian restaurant “La Vecchia Signora” in Stockholm.
Newly harvested white truffles flown in straight from Alba was the base in all of the six courses served.
This year the winery Oddero was present with their wines.
This is a step up in complexity from the entry level served before this.
Nose is very fine and intriguing.
Green and herbal, stemmy, showing mint and notes of balsamico and fine spice mix.
Palate shows a semi mature Barolo, clean, lots of nice red berries present, touch of tar and leather, mushrooms, fine acidity, medium bodied with medium length, pleasant in the mouth.
This will continue to develop well for another 5 – 10 years, at least.
(90 – 92) (1607 views) | | | Tasted by FamilyLarsson on 11/15/2016 & rated 92 points: Tryffelmiddag på La Vecchia i Stockholm med viner från Oddero.
Ett stramt och elegant vin med höstskog, tryffel, violer och närvarande tanniner. Kommer att vinna på ytterligare 5-6 år (2102 views) | | | Tasted by JimmyBubbles on 10/1/2016: Inbebible ahora mismo. Incluso dudo que ese tanino integre alguna vez, demasiado para el body.
La nariz se empieza a abrir una hora despues de abrir el vino. Estuvo decantado pero no fue suficiente. Se empieza a ver algo, detrás de ese pegamento típico, cuando queda menos de una copa.
Intenso y profundo. Maduro pero aristocrático. A revisitar. (1449 views) | | | Tasted by daffydahl on 9/6/2016 & rated 93 points: Mörkröd med väldigt lite tegel i kanterna. Skog,viol,amaretto,tryffel i en härlig blandning. Mjuka tanniner. Känns ganska färdig faktiskt. Till kantarell smörgås. Mys! (1105 views) | | | Tasted by daffydahl on 4/21/2015 & rated 92 points: save at least 5 years (1047 views) |

| Oddero Producer websiteNebbioloNebbiolo is a red grape indigenous to the Piedmont region of Italy in the Northwest. The grape can also be found in other parts of the world, though they are not as respected.
Nebbiolo is often considered the "king of red wines," as it is the grape of the famed wines of Barolo DOCG, Barbaresco DOCG, and Roero DOCG. It is known for high tannins and acidity, but with a distinct finesse. When grown on clay, Nebbiolo can be very powerful, tannic, and require long aging periods to reach its full potential. When grown on sand, the grape exhibits a more approachable body with more elegant fruit and less tannins, but still has high aging potential.
"Nebbiolo" is named for the Italian word, "nebbia", which means "fog", in Italian and rightfully so since there is generally a lot of fog in the foothills of Piedmont during harvest.
Nebbiolo is a late-ripening variety that does best in a continental climate that boasts moderate summers and long autumns. In Piedmont, Nebbiolo is normally harvested in October.

The wines of Piedmont are noted as far back as Pliny's Natural History. Due to geographic and political isolation, Piedmont was without a natural port for most of its history, which made exportation treacherous and expensive. This left the Piedmontese with little incentive to expand production. Sixteenth-century records show a mere 14% of the Bassa Langa under vine -- most of that low-lying and farmed polyculturally. In the nineteenth century the Marchesa Falletti, a frenchwoman by birth, brought eonologist Louis Oudart from Champagne to create the first dry wines in Piemonte. Along with work in experimental vineyards at Castello Grinzane conducted by Camilo Cavour -- later Conte di Cavour, leader of the Risorgimento and first Prime Minister of Italy -- this was the birth of modern wine in the Piedmont. At the heart of the region and her reputation are Alba and the Langhe Hills. This series of weathered outcroppings south of the Tanaro River is of maritime origin and composed mainly of limestone, sand and clay, known as terra bianca. In these soils -located mainly around the towns of Barolo and Barbaresco -- the ancient allobrogica, now Nebbiolo, achieves its renowned fineness and power.
