"Odedi"

9.2

Dark ruby in color with a reddish rim.

Earthy nose of black fruits with light oak, earth, light vegetables, tobacco leaf, black tea, peppercorn, bell pepper, mediterranean spices and dark chocolates.

Full-bodied and smooth with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate with blackberries, black currants, plums, cooked cherries, cedar, licorice, earth, herbs, spices, tobacco leaf, dark coffee, light cola, dark chocolates, peppercorn and black tea.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and cherries.

This 5 year old Cabernet Sauvignon based Bordeaux blend from Chile is starting to drink beautifully now. Very complex and nicely balanced.

Needed 2 hours in the decanter to open up properly. Right out of the bottle, the nose was fruity and the palate was earthy. That flipped once it opened up. So interesting.

Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years, and has good potential to become a 94+ point wine.

I've had a few vintages of this Chilean superstar, and so far my favorite was the 2015 vintage.

Good by itself as a sipping wine or with food.

A blend of 71% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Carmenere, 5% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot. Aged for 20 months in new French oak barrels.

15% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

100% carmenere. Unexpectedly nice. Liked the balance of tanines - feels light and smooth. Fruity, but not too much. Blueberries as a first note. Pleasing experience. — 5 years ago

Absolutely amazing. Second time having the purple angel and didn’t disappoint. Pure expression of Carmenere. Served it with decadently home made Pad Thai noodles. — 6 years ago

Cada vez que voy apurado al supermercado por un vino el Sommelier me ofrece un carmenere o malbec,  la verdad que hasta ahora acierta, en este caso fue el carmenere, buena calidad precio, siempre cae bien en reuniones familiares o con amigos, no tiene pierde, con  aromas a ciruelas negras, buena estructura en boca, ligero, equilibrado, lo hace  un gran acompañante con las comidas. Nos sirvieron un plato de lentejas , arroz, coronado con una milanesa de carne, ensalada de lechuga, tomate y palta, aceite de oliva discreción, lo disfrutamos mucho, Saludos

Soft. My comparison with the Chilean carmenere is prob unfair given this is 30% Merlot. But it still has that distinctive carmenere taste. Nice fruit. Soft sandy tannins. The Merlot softens this. Very nice wine. — 6 months ago

This is a great Carmenere! Color is inky. Nose is bright red and dark fruits. On the palate hits mid stream lots of bright red fruit with a touch of cocoa nibs. — 6 years ago

Compost on the nose, although we just opened this 6 year old bottle. So, ok. Truth time. We've had carmenere wines before and thought they were oddly flavored, off balanced, and overall not so great. Whew! Got that off my chest. This wine shows some real promise. Fully flavored with lovely red fruits, smooth tannins and silky finish. We enjoyed this and am sure it will open up. — 4 years ago
