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. — 4 years ago

Heavily tannic but well integrated. Cherry, non French oak, and herbal funk. Great Barolo. — 7 years ago

Very closed nose compared to Oddero Villero. Nose is more focused, restrained and lots of tobacco leaves and smoky component. Huge structure with chewy tannins. Slight bitter finish. — 8 years ago

Ready. Liquirice, ink and ripe plums. A wunderful, austere Barbaresco. — 8 years ago

Despite being 18 years old it needed hours and hours of decanting and towards the end of the night it finally started coming around. Want to have it again in a few years with hours of decanting to see how it's matured. — 10 years ago

9.1

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. — 5 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. — 5 years ago

Simply perfectly aged Barolo. It had that earthy sweetness on the palate that blew me away. The nose was mesmerizing with truffles and so much more. Brilliant. — 7 years ago

very nice wine, lots of spice and earth. not as elegant as the Oddero Rocche — 9 years ago

Tom Kobylarz

9.2

Solid wine, 15 years young from the 1999 vintage. Cabernet from Piedmonte region of Italy. Tastes like a Bordeaux, but with more acidity and mineral character you see in Nebbiolo from these parts of Italy. Plenty of life left. 5-7 years easy or more. Fine, but firm tannins frame the finish of dried currants and cherry with some grilled herbs — 10 years ago

Mint, herb, balsam. Fruit darkened considerably as it was open. Old school here. — 11 years ago

8.9

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. — 5 years ago

Tony Garcia

9.5

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 — 6 years ago

Stunning wine, still very primary but some leather and earth tones emerging. Hold for a while longer or enjoy now for the beautiful black cherries and rose petals — 7 years ago

Eric Egan

9.1

It has taken 3 month for the fine sediment in this to settle but it was worth the wait! Nice soft nose of strawberries, raspberries, toffee, and sugar cane. Acid ever so slightly high but far from unpleasant; just not completely in line with the rest of it. Great on its own but even better with cured ham. — 7 years ago

Michael Mallon

8.9

A cut above the rest. Pear nectar, candied apricot, lemon zest and floral notes. A bit fizzy. High acidity balances out the sweetness. — 8 years ago
