Give it some time to open up and this wine will sing! Gorgeous black fruit aroma. Blackberry, dark plum, dark fruit, dark chocolate, graphite. Solid structure, will age for a couple more decades for sure. But this wine is drinking very well, though I may lay my other bottles for another couple years at least. Wonderful wine!

Lovely wine. Sad it was my last bottle of the 16s. Lovely fruit, great minerality, drinking so well now. I’d give it a taste on the open, then let it sit for an hour and then really enjoy it. It needs an hour decant and it just sings. Go ahead and open it up, ya drinking wonderful! — 5 months ago

"Odedi"
Deep purple in color with a short purple rim.
Strong fruity nose and Full-bodied with medium acidity.
Very dry on the palate with nice complexity.
Showing black fruits, chocolate notes, tobacco, vanilla, licorice, cedar, earth, peppercorn, leather, coffee and spices.
This delicious 3 year old Napa Cabernet is still young and needs a 5 years in the bottle to mature properly.
Already enjoyable even by itself but is showing good potential to become a 94+ point wine.
Will continue to age nicely in the next 15 years.
15% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
$250. — 5 months ago
