Remarkably deep color. A whiff of VA. Amazingly sweet dark cherry with a mineral base and not much tannin. Shorter finish. A real bolt from the blue and far better than the only other time I had it back in 2016.

Return to Italy: Pio Cesare, Gaja, Oddero, Tignanello and more (Flour Shop, Charlotte, NC) (Charlotte, NC): 9 hours in advance, decanted for 30 minutes, back in the bottle and slo-ox in temperature controlled cellar. Nicely aromatic nose of dried rose petals. Very cloudy and hazy in the glass. Smooth and refined on the mouthfeel. Flavorful notes of dried raspberries. Great texture and tasty, soft finish. A deliciously elegant Barolo that can complement aged Red Burgundy.

excellent again, my prior note applies... this one had a little more (surprisingly) tannin... actually -- at least when tasted after going into the decanter -- a bunch of tannin... settled from there with air and didn't impair the wines ability to shine!

opened this at around 1pm (for dinner at 6)... nothing wrong, light body, not a lot there... super pumped when I drank the first sip at dinner, this opened up and had red / dark red fruit with a nice layer of spice on top, great acidity, just a lovely elegant old old barolo... just what you want, easy going with some subtlety and med plus body

(Oddero Barolo) Bricked medium red color with ruby lights and pale meniscus; earthy, chlorine, subtle tobacco, dried roses nose; earthy, autumnal, beef jus, tangy, lamb jus palate; medium-plus finish 92+ pts. (least flashy of our flight of '67 Barolos, but good)
(Oddero Barolo) Very light red color with clear meniscus; maderized, dried berry, tea nose; medium bodied, chewy, dried berry, tar, roses, tart chocolate palate, much better than the nose; medium-plus finish

Still alive with a hint of sherried notes, fragrant nose. Light-medium bodied and medium finish. Palate was slightly simple despite the age.
