"Odedi"

9.2

Dark ruby/ purple in color with a reddish rim.

Strong fruity nose with red and black fruits, light cedar, chocolates, earth, herbs, spices and tobacco leaf.

Full-bodied with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate with black currants, black plums, blackberries, cedar, licorice, light vanilla, espresso, earth, chocolates, tobacco leaf, herbs and peppercorn.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and cherries.

This is a delicious Merlot from Lalande de Pomerol. Elegant and nicely balanced. Rich and extracted.

Fruit forward and powerful. The alcohol is nicely integrated already.

Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years. Showing good potential to become a 94 point wine.

Spicy, easy drinking, and good by itself as a sipping wine.

A blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged in new French oak barrels for 12 months. No added Sulphites, and made only in special vintages.

14% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

Had this very interesting white Beaujolais Village up in the mountains near a waterfall and the minerality of the wine perf reflected the setting. Iodine and iron, almost a well water component which sounds odd but was So refreshing. A great country farm to table wine on a hot summer day with oysters and shrimp. Loved it. — a year ago

2016 vintage. Second wine of Château d'Agassac, owned at the time by French insurance company Groupama (and since 2021 by Gerald Jiquel who also owns Fourcas-Dupré in Listrac). Hard to beat for value for money! Classic Haut-Médoc with impeccable balance.Abv. 13%. — 9 months ago

9.1

Nose has vibrant, zesty fruit, some crushed rock, and a teensy note of barnyard funk that peeks out. Livelier and less dense than other ‘20s I’ve had, it’s pure and zingy in the mouth, with lots of stony minerality. Very nice. 9.1 — 2 years ago
