Several different wineries trade under the family name of Oddero, so it is worth a little extra effort to assure that you’ve got the right one when seeking out this wine, which will definitely be worth the effort. It shows plenty of concentration and depth of flavor, with rich, muscular fruit accented by a tastefully restrained dose of oak. The tannins are sufficient to help this age gracefully, but also fine enough in grain and assertiveness to enable near-term enjoyment. A rich, satisfying wine that shows the virtues of the vintage without any of its vices.
