  gorgeous red roses, plus spruce tips, sweet orange, red cherry candy, airy spice... this is just wailing on the nose, put this in the right glass and you will be in heaven... still a little tight on the palate, but this still gives so much pleasure, medium-bodied, fine tannins, beautiful floral and earthy inner perfume, long and classic, gorgeous tart red fruit and delicate spice linger long, this is superb and will improve for many years.... last vintage with Monvigliero in the blend, future legend?

  The fruit for the Oderro Poderi e Cantine “classico” comes from a combination of the Bricco Chiesa in La Morra and the Bricco Fiasco in Castiglione Falletto MGAs. The former being considered Oddero’s “home vineyard”.
  
  Poured into a decanter about 30min before service. In the glass, the wine displays a beautiful ruby color with a transparent core; medium+ viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with very pretty notes of Montmorency cherry, cranberry, pomegranate, a bed of roses, orange peel, fresh sage, eucalyptus and crushed rock. On the palate, the wine is bone dry with high tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long, drying and grippy. This is all about balance and freshness. These are quite giving already but undoubtedly have a long life ahead. Drink now with patience or through 2044.

  By the bottle at the Restaurant at Hill Farm in Arlington, VT. Needs air, probably should have asked for a decanter. On the last glass or two now and it’s really getting good. Exotic spices, cinnamon, dried cherries, sticky clay, white mushrooms, crushed flowers. Really expressive and complex. Palate is juicy, fresh, red cherry, crushed strawberry, fruit leather, hint of smoky briny earth on the finish. Tons of acidity, tons of tannins but great balance and length. Pretty solid stuff now, going to be fantastic in 10 or 12 years.

  Oddero never disappoints. Super delicious wine. Gorgeous nose filled with cherries, licorice, roses, and wild berries. Grippy tannins. Super fresh.
  Wait 3-5 years with this one for ultimate drinking pleasure.
