Top Notes For
"Odedi"

Ruby in color with medium intensity.

On the nose, blueberries, cherries, strawberries, wood, earth and spices.

Dry on the palate with light cherries, strawberries, black pepper, earth and forest floor.

Medium bodied with nice legs.

Medium finish with big, powerful tannins.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

To me it felt too light and watery. Drinkable but bland. Not my taste.

Fine berries on the nose, fine body with good tannins. Crushed cherry fruit, mild spice. Very airy which is easy to drink on its own but you'll discover interesting new flavours with food, especially cheese!

So tasty. Big and juicy red fruits, but so soft and refined. Need more.

Still a bit hot and a touch too much bite but will soften in 2-4. Still good clean and fresh cherry, plum and spice present and medium length. The drunken goat cheese has paired nicely
