Tasting notes
Very little on the nose. Traditional, challenging tannins. Where's the pleasure? It's all structure and no fruit. (RH)

The 2008 Barolo is quite striking in the vintage. Black cherries, plums, spices, menthol and tobacco are some of the many notes that emerge from the glass in this big wine. This is a decidedly large-scaled entry-level Barolo, but all the elements are very much in the right place. Firm tannins frame the muscular close. This is an impressive showing among its peers.

Anticipated maturity: 2015-2023. If Oddero could only find consistency, this range would be significantly more impressive. It’s the details that count, but more often than not, I feel like nuances don’t get enough attention here. Importer: Soilair Selection, New York, NY; tel. (646) 244-4922
