Top Notes For
"Odedi"

Ruby in color with a wide cloudy, reddish rim.

Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing red and black fruits with oak, licorice, eucalyptus, herbs, mediterranean spices, coffee, earth and black pepper.

Nice tangy finish with soft tannins and tangy cranberries.

This is a very tasty 8-year-old Rioja Reserva. Elegant and soft.

Showing nice complexity at this point, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.

Easy drinking and a good food wine.

I had the 2009 a few years ago, and loved it. This one just needs more time in the bottle to mature properly.

A blend of 80% Tempranillo and 20% Garnacha. Aged for 3 years in used American oak barrels.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

90 points.

$40.

Romantic evening with my wife with venison in port and chocolate sauce and roast potatoes. Blackberry, bramble hedgerows and a hint of vanilla. Very balanced wine that will get better with time. Amazing value for money at 35 euro/dollars. The fruit complemented the irony venison perfectly. Enjoy your Sunday!
