"Odedi"

9.0

Ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Red fruits on the nose with light oak, vanilla, licorice and chocolates.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with black currants, blueberries, fresh cherries, light oak, spices, chocolates, dark coffee, peppercorn, earth and black tea.

Short finish with soft tannins and tangy raspberries.

This young Amarone is a little underwhelming. Not as bold as I expected it to be, with mostly red fruits. Feels more like a Ripasso than an Amarone.

Tangy and spicy with nice complexity and balance.

Good right out of the bottle, and better with airtime. Would be nice to revisit it in 5 years.

A blend of Corvina, Molinara and Rondinella.

15.5% alcohol by volume.

90 points.

Happy Easter! Uses a lot of new French oak, and it shows but it’s well-integrated. It tastes like a marriage between a California Cabernet and a classic rioja, modern in style but very good. Intense concentration, silky tannins on the palate with medium+ acidity. chocolate, vanilla, tobacco, spice, a bit of earth, and rich dark fruit that’s nearly jammy but not quite. — 4 days ago

Had this one about 2,5 years ago and it has made a serious step forward. Still not where it needs to be but it opening one now didn’t harm at all. — 3 days ago

This wine is medium dark garnet with some brown starting to show. The nose brings enough savory for everybody. Currant, fig, and blackberry notes are draped in earthy scents like pepper, tobacco, oak spice, coffee, and tarragon. The palate holds a set of firm tannins and a racy acidity. Flavors of dark berries, cherry, and plum define the wine’s profile. It will pair well with pork, lamb, or veal. — a month ago

This was one of the treats of the festival. It was in perfect shape and somewhere around its precipice.

The comment made by the women representing it was, she stopped pouring it to many as they simply didn’t appreciate and or understood what they were just poured. If you understand how this is made and the extra process to make good examples, you develop #respect

Not a wine for everyone, but amazing with this kind of age and older.

50/50 sangiovese grosso and merlot. Full bodied with dark fruit, some touches of coffee with bitterness and acidity but great structure with earthiness and great tannins with a long finish. Definitely something to try again. — a month ago
