"Odedi"

9.1

Dry on the palate and elegant, with medium acidity.

Full bodied and bold with nice complexity.

Showing citrus, yellow apples, pears, lemons, light earth, oak, spices, vanilla, nuts, smoke, light almonds and white pepper.

Long buttery finish with almonds and limes.

This is a very tasty and elegant 4-year-old oaky Chardonnay from Lazio in Italy. Aging nicely now, and will continue to do so in the next few years. Would be nice to revisit it in couple of years.

A good quality wine, and better when not too cold.

This is not my favorite style, but this one is really nice. Feels like a white Burgundy.

Good by itself as a sipping wine.

Chardonnay grapes were aged in French oak barrels for 12 months.

13.5% alcohol by volume.

It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix.

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

Strong spicy nose with light cedar, tobacco, chocolates and licorice.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with black plums, black currants, coffee, light cedar, cola, light earth, herbs, tobacco leaf and dried meat.

Tangy finish with soft tannins and tangy raspberries.

This is a very tasty Cabernet Franc from Lazio, Italy. An interesting wine that feels more like a Right Bank Bordeaux.

This 11 year old is tasty right out of the bottle, and better with airtime. Rich, yet elegant.

Would be nice to revisit it again in 3 years.

A good quality wine. Good by itself or with food.

100% Cabernet Franc grapes were aged in oak barrels for 20 months.

Really nice nose with lots of complexity, once it opens up.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing red and blue fruits with earth, light wood, spices, coffee, dark chocolates, tobacco leaf and herbs.

Tangy finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

NV Lovely effort: expressive smell, balanced taste. This is really good: frivolous flowers and nice acidity | at Babbo Pinsa Romana — 2 years ago
