A little bit of reduction on the nose and on the finish. On the nose spicy floral typical northern Rhône Syrah aromas plus a rubber or latex touch. On the palate a little hollow on the mid palate but in a way more quaffable and smoother that way. Medium tannins and a medium+ finish with a dried roses and light geranium touch. Very good quality. #crozeshermitage — a month ago

I picked up a couple C-H wines last month and this is my second bottle to open following Jaboulet’s Thalbert.
Followed over two days. 91-92 initially, finished at 92-93. Still some room for upside, so scoring accordingly.
From start to finish this was undeniably a more enjoyable wine than the Jaboulet. Day one was a potpurri and floral overload aromatically before ripe dark fruits and green herbs shut it down hard with a wall of tannin at the finish (similar to the Jaboulet). Day two showed what this wine is evolving to be…a softer aromatic profile but so much depth on the mid-palate with lavender, charcoal and dark berries before a finish of black peppered meat. The wine feels well balanced by acid and tannin and the alcohol isn’t obtrusive. Not quite crunchy, but bright and powerful. Lovely C-H from the Chapoutier team. Could cruise another 5+yrs in this same drinking window. — 3 months ago
"Odedi"
Purple in color with a wide reddish rim.
Pretty nose of black fruits with wood, licorice and chocolate notes.
Full-bodied and elegant, with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry and fruity on the palate with black currants, black plums, blackberries, earth, light oak, spices, chocolates, coffee, licorice, tobacco leaf, herbs and peppercorn.
Medium finish with fine grained tannins and cherries.
This 5 year old Cabernet Sauvignon from Paso Robles is tasty and still drinking very nicely. Nicely balanced and elegant. Complex and interesting.
Peaking now, and will drink nicely in the next couple of years.
Easy drinking and good by itself or with food. A good party wine too.
A blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Syrah and 5% Petite Sirah.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
90 points.
