"Odedi"

9.2

Deep Inky in color with a wide reddish rim.

Strong nose, and dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing black fruits with wood, earth, tobacco leaf, herbs, earth, dark chocolates and peppercorn.

Nice finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This 14 year old Syrah from Red Mountain in Washington State is delicious now. Tangy and interesting.

Needed 2 hours to open up properly. Worth the wait.

Big and juicy. Bold and good by itself or with food.

14.4% alcohol by volume.

Sh-t. I mean. This starts inconspicuous but becomes more energetic with each day open. Coiled acid and melting taffy. Aching red fruit; dripping, swirling mineral dust. Subtly sweet, then unexpectedly dry, with a powdery texture. Worthy parallel to eg bandol rose, but even more acid. — 3 months ago

Vintage 2009 | This is a Pomerol with a certain strictness. We tasted it blind next to a left bank wine but the tasters did not recognize this as a right bank wine. It seems to be made for the long haul, with clear tannines even after 15 years. Good integrated wood with a light vanilla impression. — 13 days ago

Hot tub-! Meaning, Macon in the hot tub. Which also means that any wine tasted in hot tub conditions deserves better, & at least some recognition the hot tub distorts. Still, a lithe, Meyer lemon & mineral palate. Helps actually to be in, yes, the hot tub to loosen up the dimensionality. Would go back to this. — 2 months ago

Sipping Fine Wine

9.0

A blend of mostly Merlot with a little Cabernet Franc, deep ruby red color with a bouquet of dark black fruit, and a slight herb nose, aged for 12 months in oak. On the palate flavors of blackberry, currant and cherry, with licorice and herbs. Fine grainy tannins, long finish ending with fruit, spice and a touch of earthy mineral notes. — a month ago
