1971 Oddero Barolo

Community Tasting Note

Likes this wine:

Friday, May 23, 2014 - This wine developed beautifully after being decanted, the continual evolution exciting to follow, but it certainly needed time. It was smokey and bark-y at the beginning, lean and dry. The smokiness largely but not entirely dissipated over the next couple of hours. Some fruit then came forward, a fresh fig taste and a powdered rose scent after about 4 hours in the decanter when the wine was perhaps its most exuberant. At that point, it was like drinking a landscape, somehow. Delicate throughout, although the texture became fuller and the wine subtly beefier with time. An ethereal Barolo.
