Top Notes For
"Odedi"

Dark ruby in color with a reddish rim.

On the nose, blueberries, sweet strawberries, raspberries, wood, tobacco, spices, earth, black licorice, vegetables, vinaigrette, sweet herbs and black pepper.

Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity and nice legs.

Dry on the palate with cherries, strawberries, red currants, oak, tobacco leaf, spices, vegetables, bitter herbs, graphite, earth, vinaigrette and peppercorn.

Short finish with fine grained tannins and tart pomegranates.

This 6 year old Chianti Classico Riserva is drinking nicely now. A bit unbalanced and better with food.

Showing a soft mouthfeel with mild complexity.

Would pair nicely with pasta and red sauce.

13% alcohol by volume.

86 points.

$15.
