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. — 5 years ago

One of my favorite Barberas — 6 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. — 6 years ago
This is how a Lange should taste. Juice well integrated tannins, well balanced. And impressively long — 5 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. — 5 years ago
Another wine from Greg’s friend Andrew. A little chalky. But should open up. Very nice. Beautiful color. — 6 years ago
Too young, however a good representation of a young blended Barolo. — 7 years ago

The aroma has a better lift than Oddero Villero and Serio Borgogno 2017, because of higher acidities and lighter material. — 5 years ago
Little past prime. Raisin ish. Still enjoyed — 5 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. — 6 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 — 7 years ago
Heavily tannic but well integrated. Cherry, non French oak, and herbal funk. Great Barolo. — 8 years ago

Some recent visitors to Piemonte suggested this one, did not disappoint. Nice fruit, good acidity…a wine for food — 3 years ago
