Took a bit of time to open up but it was very good, lots of earthy depth to it, good complexity though not a very long finish. As expected, perfect with a truffle-based dish (in this case, a truffle steamed dumpling). Good amount of dark cocoa notes to it which was pleasant once they showed up.

Pure and deep nose. Fresh and with roses and minty balsamic notes. There is nice fruit and some mossiness. Lacks the precision of the recent vintages. This would be the same wine as Fratelli Oddero and Poderi e Cantini in this vintage. 87

Dark red violet color; lovely, floral, roses, sandalwood, anise, tar nose; tasty, complex, dried roses, anise, sandalwood, tar, dried berry, ginger cake palate, a stunning effort by the late Luigi Oddero, from one of Barolo's greatest vineyards; needs 7-8 years; long finish 94+ points (decanted for 1 hour)

Black licorice, sandalwood, game, cigar box. Maybe slightly past its prime.
