Presented double-blind at Tasting Group. The wine pours a garnet color with a slightly watery rim and a transparent core; medium+ viscosity with notes staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of Morello cherry, tar, roses, dried herbs, licorice, exotic spices and gravelly earth. On the palate, the wine is bone dry with high tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. The alcohol is medium+. Initial conclusions: this could be Nebbiolo, Sangiovese, Grenache or Pinot Noir. However, the color, transparency and tannins can’t lead me to any other place than Italy and this simply has too many of the calling cards for Nebbiolo. When considering the quality of the fruit and power of the wine, I think this is Barolo from a recent, warm but challenging vintage. My call is Nebbiolo, from Italy, from Piemonte, from Barolo, 2017 from a mostly traditional producer. “Whoop! There it is!” I think the 2017’s (in general) are beginning to show pretty well…following a somewhat similar path to the 2015’s in some respects. A solid annata from the other Oddero. Drink now and through 2037. — 7 months ago

Medium garnet ruby core and quite wide garnet rim . This shows some development with rose , porcini , dark cherry , balsamic hint, spiced strawberry, iodine . On the palate this is quite deep and tannic , with a strong mineral note, dark cherry , violets, good balanced acidity and good iron filling finish . This needs a little more time to integrate further the quite present tannins . So better in 5 or so years and will last well a further 10 or so. Promising . — 7 months ago

I certainly need more experience with #barbaresco but this was a lovely wine, #nebbiolo 🌹, bright fruit, red floral notes are there but much more subtle tar and earth notes with soft tannins and some lip-smacking quality on the finish. — 2 months ago

Surprisingly light on its feet and even ethereal on day two. — 7 months ago

Consistent notes, if not better after a two-hour decant. A house Barolo?? — 9 months ago

Drinking the 2016 in 2024. Very similar to a Pinot Noir. Light bouquet, with red fruit notes. Light smooth flavors with a lightly tannic finish. — a year ago
