"Odedi"

9.1

Dark ruby in color with medium intensity.

Red fruits on the nose with tobacco and chocolate notes.

Dry on the palate with red and black fruits, light wood, spices, coffee, dark chocolates, earth, tobacco leaf and herbs.

Nice finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a very tasty Mourvedre based blend from Bandol. Rich and elegant, fruity and interesting. Complex and well balanced.

Still young, and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly, and will continue to age nicely in the next 7 years.

Easy drinking and good by itself or with food.

A blend of 70% Mourvedre and 30% Grenache, from 30 year old vines. Aged in large French oak barrels for 18 months. Unfiltered and unfined.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

It’s been five years since I last had the 2000 vintage of P2 and looking back on my notes, not a whole lot has changed though the autolytic notes seem to be more integrated into the entire package.

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The 2000 P2 pours a deep straw color with a persistent mousse. On the nose, ripe golden apple, raspberry, ripe soft rind cheese, a touch of mushrooms, lemon/lime citrus and minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with high acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long. Loads of energy still. This remains a very special wine. Drink now through 2040+. — 2 days ago

Entering it's prime drinking window. Color has transformed to a deep brownish tint compared to early bottles which were much more reddish. — 3 days ago

2016 vintage. A decade has allowed this to blossom a bit. Revealing super-subtle complexities now that frequently get lost in appraisals as they posit as fleeting impressions versus unimpeachable, primary truths. Medium body. 8.12.26. — 5 days ago

Old standby. I guess i haven't written about the 2022. This wine is softer than previous bottlings. Typical Sangiovese flavors, though the tiny bit of Cabernet Franc is apparent. Cherry, sweet tobacco, a bit heavy on florals, lower tannins but a lingering finish.

💫 This lovely Sancerre AOC was made from the challenging 2024 vintage, marked by cool and wet conditions. One of the worst vintages in recent memory, according to my research.

☝️ It’s a testament to the resilience of Sauvignon Blanc and François Crochet as a vigneron, especially considering his commitment to organic and biodynamic farming, firmly rejecting the use of chemicals and fungicides.

👏 Perhaps it was Crochet’s very discipline, watchful eye, and careful hand-harvesting that helped avoid flaws of the 2024 vintage.

🏘️ François Crochet is located in the commune of Bué framed by limestone-rich hills, producing a range of terroir-driven wines.

🌿This wine represents a blend of parcels including several which are normally kept separate for single-vineyard bottlings including Petit Chemarin, Grand Chemarin, and Les Amoureuses.

🥂 In the glass, this wine has a lean and elegant profile with some texture perhaps from time on the lees. Its mineral spine takes a lead role in the bouquet, next to crushed limestone and stony, flinty notes alongside crisp apple, lime zest, kiwi, and gooseberry notes, with a clean, focused finish punctuated by a saline tension.

🍽️ It’s a beautiful—if not classic—pairing with this goat cheese & arugula omelet over a salad with cucumber, avocado, and ripe blueberries. 🫐 The wine’s bright acidity cuts through the creaminess and its gooseberry flavor matches & lifts the tang of the cheese. — a day ago

I have not had many DP Rose’s. On the nose, extremely expressive scents of red fruits & flowers. One of the most powerful champagnes I have tasted. I felt like my taste buds were being held hostage by various red fruit and acid. An unapologetic finish that handcuffed my mouth.. — 3 days ago

Who knew Hungary had dry white wines?! An adventurous bold choice by Maia that paid dividends on a hot summer day at 306. Mineral. Dry. Light. Smooth. Delicious. — 2 days ago

2022 vintage. Last tasted 3.12.25 (9.3). Still fairly smooth although the body and plushiness have dwindled a modicum in a little over a year. Not exactly scary/frightening BDX. Easy to love. 8.12.26. — 5 days ago
