January 7, 2024 - Double decanted 5 hours prior to consumption. Very light color of red-brick/orange. Surprising how elegant the body is given the light color. Nose of well-aged, mature nebbiolo as expected. Totally integrated tannins. It won't improve but is good now.

April 28, 2023 - Smoke, farmyard, dried mushroom are very dominant. Meaty, prosciutto, ferrous and bloody. Some sweet fruit still present on the palate. Too much tertiary notes to me but unfortunately don’t have chances to let it sit for longer during the masterclass.

February 2, 2021 - Slow-oxed for 6 hours prior to serving into Zalto Burgundy glass (“Root” day): Pale ruby with garnet hues, only chunk deposits at the bottom.
Fruit driven and mature red cherry, plummy.
Very much about finesse at this stage, fine boned acidity and minerality. Slightly spicy finish.
Very enjoyable now. 93-94 points. -

October 21, 2020 - Red fruit, raspberry, ripe strawberry, sour cherry, lovage (Maggi), hazelnut, some coffee, underbrush, gamy notes, complex spice notes and salty liquorice are joined by balsamic and mild ethereal notes, with slightly pronounced acidity, partly resolved tannin and good length. The wine finished sour, hard and disharmonious. It was alive and had good concentration and complexity, but was rustic and fairly coarsely textured, without the sublime smoothness and ethereal character you would expect from a Barolo at this age. A wine that puts hair on the Italian grandfathers' chests. Not the best vintage for Oddero.
