Slow wine 🇮🇹 tasting! — 2 months ago
Should have opened it early and decanted - or better yet, hid it under a floorboard for a good ten plus years. Tightly wound tannins which come out swinging. Yet, with hints of the promised land to come in its youthful (?) bluster. — 5 months ago
See several previous Delectable notes. Deeply coloured but not deep in palate - medium bodied. Liquorice and almonds, a juicy palate. Finishes with a skinnsy bitter note. Great with free range chicken legs. Probably best drunk young. From a highly reputable producer in GD Vayra. My last bottle of 6. — a month ago
Yum! Fresh strawberry, floral and red fruit aromatics. Fruit-forward, but herbal and dry with delightfully soft tannins. Hint of licorice. Grown on the Arenaria di Diano (Tortonian sandstone). Great Barolo for late winter / early spring - feels lighter than its 14% abv. Had it with stuffed portobellos and feta-olive sweet potatoes. From yesterday. — 3 months ago
Very dry, high high acid. Leather, smoke, cedar, minerals. Not much fruit. Higher tannins. And a good borolo flavor — a month ago

"Odedi"
Light reddish in color with light intensity, and fresh red fruits on the nose.
Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.
Dry on the palate with mild complexity.
Showing red currants, cherries, strawberries light wood, spices, coffee and dark chocolates.
Tangy finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a delicious Barolo. Still very young and needs time to mature properly.
Elegant and rich. Fresh, easy drinking, and already enjoyable, even by itself. Showing nice complexity and mouthfeel.
Needs time to open up properly, so be patient. Good by itself or with food.
Would be nice to revisit it in 10 years.
