The texture is a standout feature: fine

persistent bubbles carry aromas of green apple

medium-bodied wine with a rich combination of sumptuous black cherry fruit

savoury palate where crunchy red berries meet citrus zest and a subtle volcanic edge

litchi and blueberry with hints of almond

Oddero, Barolo 2020 Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte The texture is a standoutThis wine has a markedly lees y nose, but there is brooding and quite pure cherry fruit with a hints of liquorice, dried flowers and truffles, and a flattering note of new oak. Purity of fruit on the palate comes with sappy integrated acidity and loads of grainy, but well behaved tannins. It is firmly structured Nebbiolo after all, but the tannins are backed up by plenty of fruit.
