The 2019 Barolo opens to a lean appearance with a very vibrant Nebbiolo color that shines with dark ruby highlights. There is dried cherry and candied fruit aromas on the bouquet. Those fruit layers cede to light spice lilac and campfire ash. The beauty in this wine is the extreme balance achieved in this classic vintage. It delivers on all levels: intensity length and joy. The fruit represents a blend of four MGS sites: Bricco Chiesa and Capalot in La Morra Fiasco in Castiglione Falletto and Monvigliero in Verduno. Production is an ample 32000 bottles. These are the best wines I have tasted from Oddero. I have had my eyes on this winery for decades honestly and I still remember the magical understanding I experienced as a young wine novice across from a bottle of aged Barolo made by Oddero on one of my first trips to Piedmont. Many changes have occurred over the years with regards to this brand. But Mariacristina Oddero and her children have forged forward nonetheless following an ambitious search for the best cru sites and an overhaul at the winery that prizes elegance and weightlessness in her wines. Farming is organic. In addition to these classic wines there is a new Langhe rosé made with Nebbiolo from Roero and two new vermouths. Published: Aug 24 2023

Ripe berry star anise menthol and a whiff of coconut form the nose. Elegant and focused the linear palate is still rather austere offering red cherry white pepper and black tea alongside taut fine-grained tannins. Fresh acidity keeps it energized. Drink after 2029. Abv: 14% Kerin O?Keefe May 2023
