"Odedi"

9.2

Dark purple in color with a wide reddish rim.

Black fruits with wood, earth and chocolate notes on the nose.

Full-bodied with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with black currants, black plums, cooked cherries, spices, light oak, licorice, chocolates, peppercorn, coffee, earth and black tea.

Medium plus on the finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.

This is a delicious Grenache based blend from Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Rich and concentrated. Showing good structure, but still very young, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.

Complex and well balanced, tangy and engaging. The high alcohol is not too noticeable. Needs time to open up properly, so be patient.

Wine Spectator 92 points. Robert Parker 94 points.

A good quality wine that will pair nicely with a big piece of steak.

A blend of mostly Grenache, with all 13 grape varieties allowed in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, from 80 year old vines. Aged in French oak barrels for 18 months.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

Found several, had no idea bought multiple from Moore Brothers. Terrific library wine surviving here for over a year. Still got that freshness and lift and subtle complexity that made me want to just taste and not eat. That’s saying something. — 8 months ago

2019 vintage. Elegant and French. Silky. Fruit and earth in balance. Wonderful way to usher in 2023. Enjoyed with New Year’s Eve pressed duck dinner at Pasjoli in Santa Monica, with Nai Nai and Robert. — 3 years ago

Robert Parker was also at the restaurant. He was drinking better wine than I was, but this was still good. — 7 years ago

I expected more given the price. Diminished red fruit, the tertiary is there but it fell flat. Kind of gravel like. Med body, med- nose. Meh. — 6 months ago

Light golden in color.

Strong nose of citrus, yeast, limes, minerals, green apples, sea salt, light earth and herbs.

Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity and medium sized bubbles.

Dry on the palate with limes, green apples, herbs, bread, yeast, minerals, spices and sea salt.

Long finish with limes and bitter herbs.

This 12 year old Champagne is starting to drink beautifully. Elegant and fruit forward. Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel. Soft and easy drinking.

Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.

Robert Parker 95 points.

Delicious by itself as a sipping wine, and paired nicely with food too.

Made with 100% Pinot Noir grapes. A small production of less than 12,000 bottles. Disgorged in 2021.

12.5% alcohol by volume.

Wow- this bottle is a lot fresher than the one we drank a year ago. The Robert Fleury is a barrel fermented blend of 45% Pinot Noir, 35% Pinot Blanc and 20% Chardonnay. Earthy dark fruit, Krug like barrel influence and savor are balanced by 2004 snap. With foie gras, pour le dimanche! — 9 years ago

9.0

Double decanted. Light ruby color with a pronounced brick colored rim. Aromas of soy sauce balsamic vinegar, leather , forest floor and dried red cherry fruit. Flavors of mushrooms, tobacco, dried cherries and mint. Mineral note on the medium finish. Very little tannin but acidity is still plentiful. Slightly reductive, but well structured and balanced. Just kept evolving in the glass. Past its prime but quite interesting. Thanks for sharing, Kase! — 6 months ago

Just released a few months ago, and still so youthful after 20 yrs. Forest floor, mushrooms, cherry, and subtle cigar box flavors. Shows what a beautifully aged burgundy can be. — 7 years ago

Popped and poured. Glorious Chablis. Fresh, vibrant with accents of ripeness, sea mist, apples, chalk, flint, rocks, citrus. I dare you to find a bottle of white wine for $24 that is as good as this, let alone a Chablis. I feel like Robert Conrad from the Eveready commercials in the 70's with a bottle of Vocoret on my shoulder. Go ahead, knock it off. I dare you! 92pts. — 7 years ago
