Incredibly smooth. Took a while to open up and started fruit forward with silky tannins, and then got the full spectrum of roasted food, leather, delicate, violet, and floral flavors in aromas. Definitely worth the lucky find.  — 3 months ago

"Odedi"

9.1

Dark ruby in color with a short reddish rim, and a very elegant nose.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity and a smooth mouthfeel.

Showing red and black fruits with wood, light vanilla, tobacco, peppercorn, espresso, chocolates, earth, light vegetables and pencil lead.

Spicy finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

Good right out of the bottle, and better after 2 hours of airtime.

Wine Spectator 92 points.

Will pair nicely with food, and will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.

A blend of Tempranillo and Graciano. Aged for 24 months in American and French oak barrels.

13.5% alcohol by volume.

The Maximus Gran Reserva Malbec shows plums, cherries, raspberries, black currants, wood, vegetables, spices and black pepper.

Medium plus in body, smooth and elegant, with medium acidity and a tangy finish with soft tannins.

Better after an hour of airtime, but good right out of the bottle.

Nice by itself or with food. This six-year-old is drinking very nicely now. Very pleasant.

A blend of 80% Malbec, 10% Cabernet Franc and 10% Syrah. Aged in French Oak barrels for 18 months.


I paired it with cheeses and crackers.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

Ruby in color with a wide brick/ reddish rim.

Dry on the palate with medium acidity.

Showing cherries, currants, plums, oak, tobacco, licorice, earth, light vanilla, dark chocolates, spices, coffee, peppercorn and eucalyptus.

Tangy finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

This recently released, iconic wine from Rioja, is already drinking very nicely, although still young.

Showing an elegant mouthfeel with nice complexity. Nicely balanced and tasty. A good quality wine.

Will continue to age nicely in the next 20 years.

This is a very tasty Spanish red from Rioja.

Full bodied and smooth with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing blueberries, cherries, black plums, cooked cherries, oak, light vanilla, spices, tobacco leaf, dark coffee, chocolates and peppercorn.

Needs 3 hours to open up properly, so be patient. Will continue to age nicely in the next 5 years.

8.9

Aroma of violets and purple flowers. Medium body, almost creamy. Some rich leathery notes with bright acidity shining through. The finish evolves to liquorice. Decent on its own but complements food fantastically. Perhaps a bit overpriced at $24. — 3 years ago
