Second bottle of 64' Oddero opened within the week. Unlike the first one, this was stellar. Stood up for over a month, then decanted off its sediments for 4 hours. The bouquet hits you with brandy-macerated cherries, dried florals, tobacco, spices and a menthol-ly character. The bright translucent burg-like colour is perhaps deceptive in view of its concentration. On the palate, the wine is intense, full-bodied, and pure, with very inviting acids and seamless texture. Finishes long and focused. So harmonius right now that it was gone in no time at all. Certainly fits the coveted bill of 'power without weight'.

Strong Madeira on the nose but a beautiful soft translucent cherry color. Purity of fruit and some length but the sherry note is too dominant for this to be exceptional.

Excellent Barolo, needed to be decanted. Very complex with several layers. Aged very well, I think that well storaged can last a few years more.
