"Odedi"

9.0

Dark purple in color.

Fruit forward on the nose, and medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity and mouthfeel.

Showing red and black fruits with wood, earth, vegetables, spices, tobacco leaf and dark coffee.

Nice finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

Peaking now and will continue to drink nicely in the next few years.

Plush and easy drinking. Elegant and nicely balanced.

A blend of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged in (30% new) French oak barrels for 18 months.

13.5% alcohol by volume.

90 points.

Light bodied for a St. Estephe, initially, though it fleshed out a bit the next day. Day 1: decidedly red fruited with red plum, raspberry, autumn leaves, dried herbs, graphite. Day 2: fruit had darkened with blackberry, black plum, currant, tarragon, still graphite, dusty tannins, freshly-turned soil, autumn leaves. — 7 years ago

60/40 Merlot-cab. Dense, dark and heavy, but velvet like the curtain on the Devil's theatre. Licorice, tobacco, black and blue berries, with a tart Kool-aid grapey-ness, that sounds cheap, but this is rib-stickingly tannic fruit sand slide stuff, and really just a symptom of drinking this wine young. I am unapologetic, I like precocious young wines. I drank the Kool-aid, and am now a believer. — 12 years ago
