"Odedi"

9.2

This is a delicious and restrained Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley.

Full-bodied with medium acidity.

Showing red and black fruits with wood, earth, vegetables, spices, tobacco leaf, dark coffee and eucalyptus.

Grippy finish with raspberries.

This 6 year old Cabernet is still young and very tight. Might be in its dumb phase at this point, so it would be nice to try it again in 3 years.

Needs 10 years to mature properly.
The eucalyptus notes overwhelm the black fruits at the moment.

Showing good structure and nice complexity.

Wine Enthusiasts 93 points. Wine Spectator 93 points. Wine Advocate 92 points.

Good right out of the bottle, and better with airtime.

100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes.

14% alcohol by volume.

Medium ruby , wider light ruby rim . Touch more closed and mineral on the nose with, red currant , grafite , cedar . Quite aloof . On the palate this is quite strict , excellent refreshing acidity and very noticeable gritty tannin , more red fruits on the palate , red currant, cherry, cranberry hints alongside the cassis and mineral backbone . Very young , mineral , quite linear and saline . This shows a lot of intensity and salinity after a while in the glass , improves with time in the glass but really needs time in the cellar. Come back in 5 - 10 years , will show well for a further 10 perhaps 20 years. Very classic and aristocratic . — 12 days ago

Part of a Chateau Mouton Rothschild vertical from 1988-1990. This was my second time enjoying the 1990 vintage and, much like my previous experience, this was rather quiet early and then came on with the business, late. As before, a mix of red and black cassis, ripe and desiccated cherries, tobacco leaf, cedar box, old leather, damp earth, some mushrooms and baking spices. After two similar experiences, I believe this vintage needs a lot of patience and a lot of air to wake up. Without either, it will be misunderstood. Drink now through 2040+ — 2 months ago

I felt guilty drinking such a young wine, but it was exceptional. Beautifully balanced and fresh right out of the bottle (no time to decant since we were in a restaurant). Tasted a lot of raspberries and blackberries. — 7 months ago
