  Robe briquée. Acidité bien equilibre, les tanins sont fondus et font saliver un peu. Légère cassonade, cerise et autres fruits rouge. Un peu d’épices, de la rose. Un vin complexe qui a bien vieilli. A son apogée selon moi vu les signes de vielllissement apparente, mais encore du fruit pour nourrir le tout.

  Slow oxed 8 hours and then decanted before dinner. Effusive nose of deep black cherry, yellow and white rose, with hints of tar, eucalyptus and sagebrush. Palate is open but less inviting. Medium plus bodied with red cherry, rose, and an herbal finish. Medium acid, tannins are very fine but prominent. Not at its peak yet but this was very enjoyable.

  Enormously complex and intense, nice stuff today but it's obvious this will improve for another decade+
  
  The nose is divine, so lifted and fresh, constantly changing, practically kaleidoscopic: red cherry (juicy flesh and almondy stone), strawberry candy, prune (a really beautiful prune, don't judge a dried plum just because it's a prune...), alpine breeze, balsam fir, rosemary, tar, perfect fresh roses, mint, cinnamon buns. Tannic and tart on the palate, full-bodied, layered and dense, incredible spicy and floral inner perfume, firms up on the finish as the tannins take over, but there's so much to get into as the flavors fade and rebound, meld and linger... the tannins may be too much for some palates, but the finish is undeniably long and complex. Decant this for 6+ hours, or save it for at least a few more years.

  One of my most favorite Oddero wines of the past decade. Totally pedigreed, deeply rooted in the core of Bussia. The 2010 possesses poise, the site-typical thrust and a noble, compact tannic backbone. On the palate it expands to a wide fusion of wild berries, spice, cedar, violets and forest floor, never losing its energy or dimension. A deep and sublime Bussia Barolo. Love it.
