A few days back I had the pleasure of having the 1998 Oddero Mondoca di Bussia Soprana Barolo.
On the nose there was black cherry, black raspberry, black currant, tar, oak, dried roses and a dried earth component.
On the palate was black cherry, fig, licorice, spice, subtle oak, leather, a bit of herbaceous notes and dried earth.
The wine is medium to full bodied and a velvety mouthfeel with medium + acidity still and medium + smooth tannins that lead to a long dark fruit finish. This was truly a pleasure to have. Christmas is soon upon us, so have a joyous and safe holiday. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷

Simply absurd. Incredible concentration, all leather and bitter chocolate and stewed fruit and black black tar. Voluptuous and concentrated, but with great grip. And despite all the savor and brood, still there's plenty of nerve.

Late night sips... 1998 Oddero Mondoca di Bussia Soprano Barolo. #unwined Nose immediately engages w soft, seductive rosey notes & bits of anise. Palate shows a little lovey raspbry, cherry & dried herbs. A wee past its prime as the 14.5% alc shows a bit hot here. But still fairly enjoyable.
