Score 91/100 · Drink 2006-2022, Daniel Thomases, Wine Advocate, Oct 2003
The 1999 Barolo Vigna Rionda – and the Oddero plots are among the finest of this famous vineyard – potent, rich and explosive, very expansive and penetrating on the nose, packed, dense, and highly structured in flavor, very backward and chewy in texture, and in need of much time and patience. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2022. Importer: Vinifera Imports, Ronkonkoma, NY; tel. (631) 467-5907

Full red. Strawberry liqueur, truffle, milk chocolate and mint on the nose. Supple but a bit undifferentiated; less fresh today than the Mondoca, with less primary fruit and more truffle and underbrush. Finishes with dusty, slightly dry tannins.
