tense Barolo

Disgorged January 2018

This appears to have the stuffing to allow the flavors and finish to flesh out as the wine ages though I doubt that it will ever be seductive

A candidate for wine of the vintage

Luigi Oddero, Barolo other_regions_italy particularly in this vintageThe Figli Luigi Oddero 2018 Barolo is thin and rather timid in terms of its intensity. This laidback approach is reflective of a vintage that produced understated wines overall across the appellation. Redcurrant, dried violet, spice and light shadings of licorice add some aromatic momentum on the bouquet, but again, this vintage holds back in the end.
