Another stranded loose bottle but very nice! Very mature indeed but not over the hill, with the enticing route black fruited nose, smoothness on palate and good finish. Pleasantly Surprised. — 4 months ago

100% Syrah from flatter vineyards at the bottom of the slope (between the Route Nationale and the Rhône) and young-vine fruit from hillside vineyards. I believe that there is still upside if this gets a few more years of bottle age, but this vintage is very nice right now if you have one and want to open it up. Classic Syrah nose and palate (olives, violets, smoked meat). Raspberry and dried herb aromatics as well. This isn’t as “rustic” as some other Northern Rhone Syrahs I’ve had lately. This is svelte and polished. Quality of the fruit and winemaking is very high. — 4 years ago

Nez principalement sur les fruits noir, cuir, eucalyptus! En bouche, c’est très bien, les saveurs typique bordelais, fruits noirs, tabac, cuir, cèdre , roches mouillées. Le vin est quand même puissant, les tannins sont présents et le vin a un bel équilibre. Va tenir la route encore
Longtemps mais c’est très bon en ce
Moment. Excellent accord avec le boeuf Wellington. — 4 years ago

"Odedi"

9.1

Deep purple in color with a short reddish rim.

Pretty nose with cedar, vanilla, wild flowers, chocolates, coffee and black pepper.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing black fruits with cedar, earth, herbs, black pepper, light vanilla, spices, dark chocolates and tobacco leaf.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and cherries.

This is a tasty red blend from South Africa. Soft and smooth with nice complexity. Nicely balanced with a soft mouthfeel.

Needed 4 hours to open up properly, so be patient.

A blend of 36% Mourvedre, 22% Shiraz, 13% Carignan, 11% Grenache, 9% tannant and 9% Petite Sirah.

14% alcohol by volume.
