Top Notes For
"Odedi"

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish/ purplish rim.

On the nose, blueberries, light cherries, light vanilla, wet leaves, earth, tobacco leaf, leather, licorice, spices, black pepper, bitter herbs and vegetables.

Full bodied with medium acidity and long legs.

Very dry on the palate with plums, black currants, coffee, oak, spices, vegetables, pencil lead, tobacco leaf, dark coffee, peppercorn, earth and black tea.

Long finish with grippy tannins (after 2 hours of airtime) and tangy cranberries.

This 8 year old Côte du Rhône is still drinking nicely although on the decline now. Not fully balanced with hugh tannins. I had it 3 years ago and it was not ready at all. Much better now.

Earthy, big and would be a nice addition to a fatty BBQ steak. I paired it with a cheese plate and crackers.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

89 points.

$14.
