Oddero Barolo Brunate 2020 Wine (75cl)

The description below comes from the retailer. Bottle details and price comparisons are listed above.

This wine is ruby, tending towards garnet, in color. The nose has intense notes of roses and violets, accompanied by a touch of damp earth and ripe red fruit. The tannins are very persistent yet soft, suggesting that the wine will take a long time to evolve. Impressive, serious and savory with notes of forest berries, dried herbs and warm spices with a touch of Grand Marnier as well. Medium to full body with firm tannins. Bright with a verticality at the center, built around crisp acidity and crunchy red currants. Yet it is plain with volume at the edges and a chewiness towards the long finish. Try after 2030. The Oddero 2020 Barolo Brunate definitely shows the austerity and power of this celebrated MGA site in La Morra. There's a strong mineral element with ferrous earth or rusty nail. The fruit is dark and spicy with baked currant or spiced plum. This is a solid and compact Barolo with a big, fleshy style. Its tannic firmness and freshness give it runway to age. A mere 1,700 bottles were produced. A solidly built red, evoking cherry, cranberry, blood orange, earth and underbrush flavors. Its tannins are thick, yet there's plenty of fruit, and this finds its equilibrium and a sense of gracefulness in the end.
