Oddero - Barolo Rocche di Castiglione 2020 (750ml)
Wine Advocate: 96 Points
From one of the best sites in Castiglione Falletto the Oddero 2020 Barolo Rocche di Castiglione has a bright mineral note and is a wine that focuses on all the high notes. There is blue flower crushed stone cranberry cassis and a soft herbal tone that is quite pretty. It fleshes out to pastry cream sweet blueberry and toasted biscuit. The wine has nicely integrated tannins and freshness. Production is limited to 2200 bottles.
Wine Spectator: 94 Points
An elegant red this evokes strawberry cherry rose and mineral flavors. Firm and dense yet linear and detailed with refinement and harmony. Long and complex on the aftertaste yet needs some time to show all its facets. Best from 2027 through 2045. 300 cases made.
Vinous: 94 Points
The 2020 Barolo Rocche di Castiglione is a beautifully seductive wine. Effusive aromatic and light on its feet the 2020 graces the palate with hints of crushed flowers spice mint pipe tobacco and orange peel. Fine silky tannins wrap it all together. This too needs time. - By Antonio Galloni on November 2023
James Suckling: 94 Points
Red berries roasted meat thyme dried petals and baking spices on the nose following through to a full body with fine firm tannins. Good weight with a juicy texture and a flavorful focused finish with persistence. Try after 2027.
Kerin O'Keefe: 93 Points
Camphor dark exotic spice and violet aromas emerge from the glass. The full-bodied palate conveys raspberry licorice and ground clove alongside a backbone of close-grained tannins that clench the finish. Kerin O?Keefe
