Poderi Oddero Brunate, Barolo DOCG, Italy 2004 1.5L

Great complexity on the nose with drying plum, light smoke tones, green herbs and almost salty minerality, closes up a bit in the glass but still offers up great intensity and complexity. Very linear in the mouth with excellent balance, tannins embedded in the fruit and the acid cruising just under the surface. Deep and bright in the mouth with a sour cherry/ green melon jolly rancher acid driven fruit quality above notes of peach pit, mineral, herb and a bit of dried citron. Tight on the finish with a lingering layered finale of bright fruit.
