1961 Oddero Barolo, pristine bottle with interesting neck tag. Gorgeous mature nose, dark cherries, brown sugar, leather, earth, charred wood. Silky palate, ripe sweet red fruits, dense mid palate, resolved tannins, perfect acidity. Excellent. #odderobarolo #oddero — 6 years ago

Figli Luigi Oddero, the Barolo producer in La Morra currently markets one Barbareso and all of the fruit comes from approximately 5 acres of vines they own in the Rombone MGA in Treiso.
Popped and poured. The 2018 “Rombone” pours a light ruby color with a transparent core; medium+ viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, this is developing and already very pretty with Luxardo cherry, pomegranate, red flowers, dried earth and mild spices. On the palate, the wine is bone dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+ and grippy. A lovely Barbaresco showing the elegance and juiciness of the vintage. Drink now and through 2038.
