Better in 2018 but fabulous now

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

as a vineyard

something that was a culture shock and that seemed like an enormous waste of money given the mindset of the time

Rich but refined and very elegant on the palate

Andrea Oberto, Barolo Brut Zero Better in 2018 but fabulousThe 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.
