This was the second time I had drunk the 1964 Oddero Barolo in the span of six months, and the wine was once again stellar. The bouquet is very elegant and superbly complex, delivering a very refined, vibrant constellation of cherries, tobacco ash, coffee, gentle notes of road tar, oregano, anise, a complex base of soil and a nice touch of camphor in the upper register. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and rock solid at the core, with great focus and complexity, still a bit of backend tannin to carry it far into the future, excellent focus and grip, tangy acids and a very, very long, vibrant and utterly poised finish. This is a great, relatively unknown ’64 Barolo! (Drink between 2011-2035)
