Solid wine, 15 years young from the 1999 vintage. Cabernet from Piedmonte region of Italy. Tastes like a Bordeaux, but with more acidity and mineral character you see in Nebbiolo from these parts of Italy. Plenty of life left. 5-7 years easy or more. Fine, but firm tannins frame the finish of dried currants and cherry with some grilled herbs

Blind this would have been pegged as an aged cru bourgeois ... Which I happen to love in general ! Thank you John Rimmerman (1999 vintage Italian cab)

Smooth silky CabSauv (100%) from Langhe. Love the low ABV. Needs time to open up. #oddero #fureste 1999

Its an interesting blend unlike anything I have had before. Minerals, smooth but firm tannins and dried berry/cherry rounds out the taste for me
