  Pale to medium garnet, with a bare suggestion of bricking at the rim. Smelled pronounced aromas of rose, red cherry, violets, and deeper in some savory herbs; tasted the fruit first but with the rest alongside, and added a little tarriness from the fine-grained tannin. Medium-plus body with high (but not searing) acidity and tannin, good intensity, medium-plus fruity finish.

  Excellent Barolo normale.
  Quite shy in the beginning, it strted to blossom after 30 mins in burgundy glass.
  Purity and elegance were on display with bright, floral, cherry, balsamic aromas.
  It was drinking exceptionally well for its level. A re-buy

  치약, 허브, 체리, 블랙베리, 산딸기, 라즈베리, 말린 장미향
  좋은 산도, 커다란 입자감이지만 고른 타닌
  풀바디에 달콤한 과실이 넘실
  술술 들어가는 와인이 복합미 구조감 모두 훌륭하기까지
  완벽

  Drinkable now but still pretty tannin. Not a rustic wine but certainly lacks some flash and fruit.

  Definitely get a few bottles of this if you can as it is well worth the price. I had not heard anything good about 18 Piemonte, but a trusted wine salesman up in Boston convinced me to buy a bottle and it was a great move. Evidently, Oddero blended in many of there single Vineyard bottlings, and you can really tell. I didn't get the red fruit people are describing. The first bottle (I went back and bought a few more) was a dark brooding Barolo with black fruits like black cherry and fig, licorice, tar, gravel, and some balsamic notes. It was thick and chewy with lush fruit that (in the first bottle) covered up the tannins and made for an extremely easy and beautiful drink. I did however notice that the next few bottles I drank over the next couple months seem to be shutting down a bit, and the tannins are a bit more noticeable. I will sit on my last couple bottles until they turn 9 or 10. This is an incredible buy and I highly recommend to any Barolo drinker.
