Luigi Oddero, Barolo Rocche Rivera 2014 Bergstrom heady fruitPale 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. Nevertheless, theres fair length of perfume, and complexity is developing. Tim Jackson MW, jancisrobinson. com (16)
