Pretty, yet restrained notes of wilted flowers, asphalt, and cranberry, but not especially expressive otherwise.
Palate has a nice balance of acidity and still firm tannins.
Good wine, but lacks much distinction. This bottle is much better than the previous one that I opened, which was completely gone. Given these two experiences, I suspect this is an early drinker with little to gain so suggest drinking up!

Light red with brown cast. Coravin didn't work so well, but I got out a small glass. Nose has tobacco, brown sugar. Medium body, enveloping tannin and medium acid. Not showing much fruit in the mouth. I will drink the rest of this bottle tomorrow since I suspect the cork in not in great shape.
Two days later the wine is showing no oxidation. The wine opens to show more fruit, with time in the glass. Still rather too tannic.

Excellent younger but classic and well-poised Barolo, drinking well now but could go much longer. Cotsens blind night

Oddero appears to be an "early drinker." This was has lost its luster.

OK. Brownish color. Nice mouthfeel. Nothing special about this
