"Odedi"

9.0

Reddish in color with medium intensity

Fruity nose and medium in body with medium plus acidity.

Dry on the palate and complex.

Showing raspberries, cherries, spices, light oak ,chocolates and peppercorn.

Long finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.

This young Grenache blend from Châteauneuf-du-Pape is starting to drink nicely, but needs 5 years in the bottle to mature properly. Will continue to age nicely in the next 15 years.

Showing good structure and very spicy.

Good right out of the bottle and better with airtime.

Good by itself as a sipping wine.

A blend of 75% Grenache, 12% Syrah, 10% Mourvedre and 3% of local grapes. Aged for 18 months in large French oak barrels.

15% alcohol by volume.

2015 vintage. Not in the same league as the 2016 and 2017, but nevertheless an attractive wine. Golden yellow. Honeyed nose with subtle hints of rosemary and fresh mint. Round mouthfeel, lacks a bit of tension, but charming. Good spicy length. — 4 years ago

9.1

A surprisingly gorgeous evening in DC tonight at a favorite classic bistro. This Giggie has loads of ripe fruit, but is drinking really well already. Very soft, decent acids. Some savory notes. The alcohol (15%) pooks through on the back half of the palate. But it was served a little warmer than I’d like, so that probably amplified it. — 4 months ago

9.6

This Cabernet begins with a glistening dark amethyst color followed by a bouquet of sweet cigar, clove, ripe blackberry, and a pinch of Madagascar vanilla. On the palette, blackberry, jammed plum, French oak and tobacco…a full bodied wine with an exceptional finish that continues to linger until the next sip! — a year ago

Raspberry jam, dark cherry, and lots of red berries. Dark chocolate and some earthy aromas round this out. It will age but so tempting to drink now. — 4 years ago
