Friday, March 4, 2022 - Since its release, Oddero's 2014 Barolo classico has always been special to me, sort of a favorite of the vintage. While I still like the early appeal & balance a lot, after almost 4 years I can definitely say that this has the juice and structure to be a long distance runner too. All the Villero fruit of the 2014 vintage is in here as well as some Vigna Rionda (younger vines). The showing is all classic, but in a distinct coolish-etheral way, which evokes an interweaved elegance, especially when the wine gets some air in the glass. Translucent, both in the color and bouquet. Lilting, this 2014 presents a lifted fruit (red with a blueish touch) with red plum, wild strawberries, pressed flowers, lavender, iris, chalk and also a mild zesty facet with spice and some laurel in the aftertaste. Harmonious in the entire drinking flow, especially when it comes to the polished tannins and supporting acidity. A fully captivating, gorgeous 2014 Barolo that I will happily follow with my remaining bottles.
