Rare bird. Only the fourth vintage of 100% pressed Nebbiolo. To me, more like an alcohol-forward white from Australia. — 8 months ago

This is how a Lange should taste. Juice well integrated tannins, well balanced. And impressively long — 3 years ago

Does not have the energy and the range of the 2010 and the completeness of the 2016. It does not have the magic of Bartolo, the class of Oddero, and the clarity and transparency of Roagna, but if you delight in delicate refinement, there is nothing like Cavalotto. — 3 years ago

A follow up birthday celebration that was a dual celebration of Sofia & our friend Judy with friends.

I started decanting this at 3:30 and it finally blossomed after nearly six hours in the decanter. I was concerned that maybe it was going to be a second day wine and readied back up bottles.

Served out of magnum and still a beast. I acquired this from the secondary market a number of weeks back. So, it was someone else’s storage. When I opened it, the wine had run about halfway along the cork & slid slightly. Early on, it gave me reason for concern. The taste was slightly off as was the nose...not bad. But, not what I expected tasting it over the first two hours. It was at this point, I pulled a couple of back up bottles.

After I put it back into the bottle and re-decanted it at our friends house, it slowly started to blossom.

The first two hours, it had a fair amount of funk & huge tannins. Many of the aeronautics were dull.

After five hours, the fruits were beautifully, bright, floral, ripe & slightly sour dark cherries, dark currants, black raspberries, black raspberries, plums, raspberries, incense, ambers, anise, very dark spices, pronounced cinnamon stick, nutmeg, clove & vanilla, tobacco, leather, cedar, dry crushed rocks, limestone, deluded, rich, dark soils, truly, elegant, brilliant florals that were dark, red, some blue, framed in some of the most beautiful florals of violets & lavender I’ve experienced. The acidity was a spot on running river. The finish was; glorious, well balanced & knitted, elegant, fruit juicy, landing squarely on spice & earth as it long set & lasting several minutes.

Beautiful wine after hours of stubbornness.

Paired with my slow cooked two day meat sauce. 14 seasonings, whole pork roast braised in oil & garlic and placed into the sauce until it shreds apart, pepperoni & Italian bread crumb meatballs. The best I’ve made it in 30 years of making it. I never measure anything but, going to have to very specifically write down what I did this time. 🤔😜🍝 — 4 years ago

Heavily tannic but well integrated. Cherry, non French oak, and herbal funk. Great Barolo. — 6 years ago

Lovely albeit relatively high-end Nebbiolo. Slightly less smoky than our tasting pair, the Oddero Langhe. Also, much more typical cherry rhubarb grip, and for some, this could pass as a Cru Barolo. Will buy again. — 4 years ago

Let’s make more native yeast Riesling! It’s top two, three of the worlds great grapes and I feel like we’ve barely tapped into what it can do. Many of our favorite Riesling makers have been stubborn, sticking with pre-selected strands from the same mother.

Oddero Riesling is very good, but it tastes not unlike Alsace or Mosel or Rhône. Shy aromas with smokey flint and lemon. I don’t have much to add because I couldn’t find much more. Big textures and familiar territory. — 4 years ago

フランチェスコ・ヴェルジオが醸造。
バルベーラとしては、高級な部類。
このクラスになると葡萄と樽の迫力のバランスのせめぎ合い感があるが、樽のニュアンスが柔らかで、すごくピュア。
こんなにピュアな果実味を感じられるバルベーラってなかなか無い。 — a year ago

The aroma has a better lift than Oddero Villero and Serio Borgogno 2017, because of higher acidities and lighter material. — 3 years ago

The aroma has a such a powerfully sculpted personality that the structure seems not sufficient to support it. It is also highly controlled and contained, every detail is clear and well-defined, just like many of the greatest wines in Piedmont, Burgundy and Bordeaux. Just lacks the last degree of spontaneous volatility that defines the magic in wine. — 3 years ago

There is not enough lively acidities and tannic grip to provide support, texture and definition for the aromas that are dominated now by old wood and lack detail and focus. Some people like its relaxed, unforced style but the winemaking is not as accomplished as those from Roagna, Cavallotto and Oddero. After 24 hours, the aroma dissipates to reveal the tertiary notes and the tannins come forward. — 4 years ago

1961 Oddero Barolo, pristine bottle with interesting neck tag. Gorgeous mature nose, dark cherries, brown sugar, leather, earth, charred wood. Silky palate, ripe sweet red fruits, dense mid palate, resolved tannins, perfect acidity. Excellent. #odderobarolo #oddero — 5 years ago
