"Odedi"

9.1

#AgedWineTuesday

Dark ruby/ brick in color with a wide reddish/ brick rim.

Fruity on the nose, and medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing over ripen fruits, cedar, vanilla, espresso, cola, light herbs, earth, chocolates, tobacco and spices.

This is a very tasty Merlot from Saint Emilion. Rich and extracted. Fruit forward and elegant. Complex and interesting.

This 23 year old is much fruitier than I expected it to be. I absolutely loved the nose on this, and kept going back for more.

Good by itself or with food. A great experience to taste these kind of old wines.

A blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc. Aged in (50% new) French Oak barrels for 16 months.

14% alcohol by volume.

91 points.

The 2011, absurdly good, the structure was woven and perfect, and the combination of red fruit and richness and earthiness was absolutely heaven.  — 8 months ago

Flash tasting; no formal notes. The 2019 “Clos des Chênes” is a light ruby; elegant and lithe with modest structure. Balanced but too youthful at this stage. Better after 2029. — 2 years ago

@delectable this was the Pinot Noir. Very elegant, cherry/raspberry, silky texture, stones, sassafras, earth and great acid. — 6 months ago

Well, what an overachiever this wine is! Mayne Lalande, a little known chateau in Listrac-Médoc, and a bottle which I picked up for a humble price at auction around a year ago. It’s fresh, sappy, delicious and positively refreshing at 12% abv. I wish I had more of this. A joyous rendition of old left-bank Bordeaux. — 7 months ago

Flash tasting; no formal notes. The 2018 “Clos du Roy” is a light ruby and showing deeper, darker fruit and more structure than the 2019 “Clos de Chênes” (as it should). Balanced. The finish is also longer and slightly more powerful than the Volnay. Better after 2028 — 2 years ago
