"Odedi"

9.2

Pale lemon in color.

Light on nose and medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.

Dry on the palate with medium plus sized bubbles.

Showing limes, grapefruits, lemons, green apples, yeast, minerals, brioche, sea salt, spices and herbs.

Medium finish with limes and grapefruits.

This 9 year old Champagne is still too young, and needs 10 years in the bottle to mature properly.

Easy drinking, fruit forward and elegant. Already delicious, even by itself, complex and interesting.

Robert Parker 95 points. Wine Spectator 96 points.

Needs an hour to open up properly, so be patient.

I've had many different vintages of this Champagne and this vintage feels more approachable young. Will continue to get better in the next 20 years.

Great by itself or with food.

A blend of 51% Pinot Noir and 49% Chardonnay. Disgorged in 2023.

12.5% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

Soft and supple in the palate. Plush fruit. Yellow apple, hints of orchard fruit, a touch of saline and mellow stone. Very refined and detailed acidity. Excellent — a month ago

Bit of a champagne binge this weekend! 🙄😬
We love Ruinart Blanc de Blanc so was easy to go for this 2010 vintage, which did not disappoint.

Such a special champagne from a special vintage. Who cares if it's a grand Maison and not growers... — 4 months ago

Black fruits galore with huge granitic expression. Super mineral, earthy and clean, with major concentration and real freshness. So alive and energetic, the fruit has incredible vigor. Has that classic ashy Cornas thing. From 6 different plots, with granite and some limestone. Fantastic. — 5 months ago

from the slopes of Sicily’s Mt Etna. Fruity, flavorful, balanced, and well structured, with a long lasting finish. Excellent with tonight’s roasted Halibut. — 7 months ago

Blend of Chardonnay (55%) and Pinot Noir (45%). Pale gold color. Aromas of freshly baked bread, toasted nuts, white flowers, citrus zest and a chalky/smoky note. Flavors of grapefruit, green apple, tropical fruits, roasted nuts, and a lovely note of brioche. Long and lingering mineral driven finish. Vibrant acidity along with wonderful tension and complexity. Creamy mousse and texture with a steady stream of fine bubbles. So beautifully savory. Thank you Jason B. for sharing this beautiful wine (and storing it so well) to toast Matt A’s 50th Birthday! — 16 days ago

Great to have an Etna wine from time to time. I have read in the past that this is like an Italian Burgundy and I agree in many respects. Medium weight, earthy with bags of minerality, ultra savoury with a lovely red fruited perfume. 100% Nerello Mascalese. We have fond memories of visiting Sicily (including Etna) approx 7 or 8 years ago with Peter Scudamore-Smith MW. — 3 months ago

Light Italian red, served chilled, with low tannin and acidity, enjoyed with lunch at The Standard High Line, in the Meatpacking District, NYC — 3 days ago

vintage 2024 | Single vineyard, 60-80 y old vines, production 5000 bottles. 16-18 m barrel aging. Great structure, but if you have it in the cellar… keep it there 3-5 years. Too tannic now. — 9 days ago

Etna: Poured into a decanter about an hour prior to service; enjoyed over the course of dinner. The 2021 pours a deep garnet color with a near opaque core; medium+ viscosity with no staining of the tears and some fine sediment. On the nose, the wine is developing with Bing cherry, Asian five spice, porchini, oregano, crushed gravel and minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long. Another stunner from this incredible, own-rooted parcel in the Calderara Sottana contrada featuring vines over 140 years old. Insane. Drink now with some air and through 2041. — 4 months ago

Best red if the trip, a Franchetti from Pascopissciaro, a round bodied nerello mascalese from the cellar at Cave Ox in Solicchiata on the north slope of Etna. Would be even better with a few years — 7 months ago
