Medium brick red color. Nose of earth and flint. Taste of balsamic and undertones of rustic fruit. Extremely tannic finish with no secondary character. Full. Needs at least 3 more years, don't even think about it.

I agree with stevetimko - what is everyone thinking about here?! If this is what Oddero can do in a great vintage like 2010, then Heaven help them... the nose is hot, showing the wine's 14.5% alcohol, the palate is stripped as from excessive extraction and a heavy oak treatment. This is all after an hour and a half decant. I expected it to pick up weight with some time, but no, it stay thin, borderline astringent and lacking intensity. yesh...

Very aggressive and persistent nail polish remover odour on opening that followed through on the palate. 24 hours later and the taint persisted. I'm used to the kind of volatile acidity that wines like Chateau Musar exhibit but this was way off the scale dominating everything about the wine. I took it back to the prestigious, independent wine shop I bought it from and they said it was nothing unusual and just a characteristic of certain Sardinian reds. I don't believe them. Extreme volatile acidity isn't a sign of authenticity. It's a defect that shouldn't be tolerated.
