Luigi Oddero Barolo 2013

This Barolo from a mature vintage reveals complex aromas of dried cherry, rose petals, violet, and sweet spice, with evolving notes of leather, tobacco, and earth. The palate is full-bodied and structured, offering layered red fruit, savory depth, and refined minerality. Firm, well-integrated tannins have softened with age, while vibrant acidity maintains balance. The finish is long and persistent, showcasing elegance, tertiary complexity, and classic Nebbiolo character. 

Food Pairing: Pairs beautifully with braised beef, lamb, truffle dishes, osso buco, mushroom risotto, aged cheeses, and traditional Italian cuisine.

94 Points - James Suckling

Love the aromas of subtle smoked meat, cedar and leather that highlight the pretty fruit. Full-bodied, tight and chewy with very polished tannins and a flavorful finish. Very fine and reserved at the end. Just opening now. Drink or hold.
