the 2018 Chardonnay Horseshoe Vineyard is positively stunning

Medium ruby-purple colored

Not very bordeaux – more reminiscent of some of the more ambitious Spanish reds at the moment

There is good precision to the generously proportioned bigbodied flavors that deliver outstanding depth and length

Oddero, Barolo Brunate other_regions_italy the 2018 Chardonnay Horseshoe VineyardAlways a standout wine, the Oddero 2018 Barolo Brunate is a complete wine, and I use that word specifically because it shows balance, freshness, length and structure. It has all the basics of an age worthy Nebbiolo that promises to increase in complexity and depth with more cellar age. At this young stage, the bouquet is singing with dark fruit, cherry, spice and sweet earth.
