"Odedi"

9.3

Light golden in color.

Beautiful nose of honeydew, apples, honeysuckle, tropical fruits, spices and melons.

Full-bodied with high acidity and long legs.

Sweet on the palate with apples, citrus, mangoes, spices, honeysuckle, herbs, honey and light earth.

Long finish with sweet honey notes.

This delicious 9 year old Sauternes is drinking beautifully now. Complex and interesting. Elegant and fruit forward. Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel.

Feels very fresh, but a bit subdued and earthier right now, compared to other vintages. Will continue to age nicely in the next 40 years.

Loved the nose more than the palate here. So expressive.

Dark golden in color.

Strong nose of apples, over ripen citrus fruit, light nuts, tropical fruits, honey, mangoes, light pineapples, minerals and spices.

Full-bodied and elegant with medium plus acidity.

Sweet on the palate with citrus, over ripened apples, melons, spices, honeysuckle, mangoes and dried fruits.

Long finish with apricots and honey notes.

This 12 year old sweet wine from Sauternes is absolutely fantastic.
Creamy and rich. Fruit forward and complex. Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel. Elegant and extracted

I've had a few vintages of this Second Growth Sauternes, and this 2014 is beautiful. Not as rich as the 2019 vintage, but just as gorgeous.

Will continue to age nicely in the next 25 years.

For my tastes, this is classic Sauternes. Not stored in optimal conditions but purchased on release and kept in the coolest place i could find. On the nose there was honey, caramelized pineapple and apricots. Could definitely smell the botrytis “funk” for the first hour of being open. Palate was rich, honeyed and mouth coating. Definitely has some acidity to cut through the stilton and other soft cheeses served and the best part was 1.5 hrs in when the honeyed peach/nectarine and apricots really came out. Spectacular. — a month ago
