"Odedi"

9.3

Light golden in color.

Beautiful nose of honeydew, apples, honeysuckle, tropical fruits, spices and melons.

Full-bodied with high acidity and long legs.

Sweet on the palate with apples, citrus, mangoes, spices, honeysuckle, herbs, honey and light earth.

Long finish with sweet honey notes.

This delicious 9 year old Sauternes is drinking beautifully now. Complex and interesting. Elegant and fruit forward. Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel.

Feels very fresh, but a bit subdued and earthier right now, compared to other vintages. Will continue to age nicely in the next 40 years.

Loved the nose more than the palate here. So expressive.

Wine Spectator 96 points. Robert Parker 99 points.

A blend of 75% Sémillon and 25% Sauvignon Blanc. Aged in all new French oak barrels for 24 months. Drank from a 750ml bottle.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

93 points.

Drank with blueberry cheesecake at broken bow with the smiths. Really light but excellent. Not cloying at all. Lighter than other d’Arche, but really like with the cheesecake. — 6 months ago

For my tastes, this is classic Sauternes. Not stored in optimal conditions but purchased on release and kept in the coolest place i could find. On the nose there was honey, caramelized pineapple and apricots. Could definitely smell the botrytis “funk” for the first hour of being open. Palate was rich, honeyed and mouth coating. Definitely has some acidity to cut through the stilton and other soft cheeses served and the best part was 1.5 hrs in when the honeyed peach/nectarine and apricots really came out. Spectacular. — 19 days ago

Was good and balanced but lacks that extra depth we expect from great Barsac. Bought en primeurs en France and stored in a perfect cellar in Paris from delivery. — 3 months ago
