This is the wine you reach for when you want to mark a moment as truly special. The Oddero Barolo Vigna Rionda Riserva 2009 is the perfect blend of power and elegance, pouring deep flavors of ripe dark cherries and rich tar, with whispers of licorice and delicate rose petals adding a plush, intriguing lift.

The 2009 vintage, known for its near-perfect weather, delivers a full-bodied experience with vibrant acidity and silky tannins that promise to evolve beautifully over time.

Again, this wine is typically released ten years after the harvest, and so in the case of the 2009 Barolo Riserva Vignarionda, we are right on time. Balsamic notes and lovely shades of spearmint lift from a bouquet that offers so much green and herbal intensity. This is a delicate and ethereal expression and a very special wine that has little primary fruit or secondary aromas left. The bouquet has moved fully into the tertiary realm with those fleeting and ephemeral perfumes that rise so gently. This vintage does not have the same density and darkness that you get in the similarly warm 2011 edition, and that won't be missed. I prefer this wine to the 2011 vintage, but I would also suggest a shorter drinking window here. Note that Vignarionda will not be a Riserva in the 2014 edition.

A complex bouquet of cherry compote, truffle, licorice, leather, caramel and spice notes joins forces with fading fruit, toffee, coffee and tar flavors in this powerful young red. This is maturing well, revealing flashes of pointed tannins that have yet to be resolved on the finish. Best from 2021 through 2033.
