I very much like the precision and sense of verve here – note however that patience will be required

orange peel and fernet

Fabulous Rioja gran reserva

Better in 2018 but fabulous now

Andrea Oberto, Barolo Brut Zero I very much like theThe 2010 Barolo represents a terrific effort and shows a level of aromatic purity and intensity that sets it apart. Soft cherry and blackberry is enhanced by bursts of clove, leather, cola and exotic tobacco. Obertos use of oak renders spice tones that are enduring but not overwhelming. Soft tannins and a richly layered mouthfeel make this wine appropriate for near term drinking. Drink, 2016 2025.
