"Odedi"

9.2

Reddish in color with a wide reddish rim.

Fruity nose and medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing raspberries, fresh cherries, light oak, spices, chocolates, coffee and black pepper.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a delicious Grenache from Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel.

Still young, but already drinking beautifully. Easy drinking right out of the bottle, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years.

Robert Parker 93 points.

I've had a few vintages of this wine, and this vintage is absolutely fantastic. The high alcohol is well integrated already.

Good by itself as a sipping wine or with food.

A blend of 85% Grenache, 5% Syrah, 5% Mourvèdre and 5% local varieties.

One of the better 03 cdp wines. Smoked meat. Great acid. Still strong red fruit with a touch of spice. — 2 days ago

2005 vintage. Decanted and tasted immediately and over the course of 4 hours. Medium body with a continually morphing nose. Super-impressive bouquet throughout the night. Overt fruit fallen off the framework and replaced with secondary attributes/complexities. @Bill Bender remarked twice about a lack of “heat”since the usual CDP ABV range seemed underwhelming One might think that would present issues but, rest assured, it did not. Great wine possibly at its’ zenith/top of the bell curve and living its’ best life now. Backed up the hype and then some. Tied for WOTN along with the 2006 Krug Clos du Mesnil Champagne (missed a picture for that one) for both myself and @Shay A 09.21.25. — 2 days ago

Classic Bordeaux. Everything was in balance: dry, barnyard, fruit. Super consistent throughout the bottle. Can’t complain. — 9 days ago

Dayum… this is good.
Intense and fresh, quite Burgundian. No signs of oxidation, this is all about luscious tropical fruit, soft spices, warm pastry, vanilla, smoky minerality.
In a great spot now and an impressive showing! — 10 days ago

A little orange bricking on the edge, this lovely aromatic 25-year-old Chateauneuf seems mature and ready to drink, still shows lively acidity which nicely lifts the red fruited flavors, good weight, lingering finish, should pair beautifully with the bison ribeye I will soon be grilling!! — 16 days ago
