Oddero 2011 Rocche di Castiglione (Barolo)

Country: Italy / Rocche di Castiglione
Variety: Nebbiolo Piedmont
Winery: Oddero / Barolo

This firmly structured red opens with aromas of menthol, eucalyptus, cherry steeped in spirits and a whiff of balsam. The bracing palate offers toast, tobacco, oak-driven spice, raw red berry and coffee alongside tightly packed, assertive tannins that leave an astringent finish.
