Luigi Oddero, Barolo Rocche Rivera 2014 Bergstrom summer pudding followed by aPale brick garnet. Overripe and cooked, wild strawberry fruit surprisingly ripe and sweet character. Mint and rose aromatic lift, with just a hint of tar and slate. Firm to high, powerful, chalky tannins, with a certain lightness of fruit, typical of the vintage.
