Wine #11 of quarantine — 5 years ago
Oliver’s fine Perry at the hop #11.
definitely my first hopped Perry. Really well balanced. Beautiful fresh flavors of honeysuckle, some citrus, and obvious hops that add a nice grassy and funk note. — 5 years ago
Wine Advent(ure) #11. A lighter bodied red blend. Still is fairly fruit forward while continuing to be dry with a good amount of tannins. — 3 years ago
Strawberries, raspberries, lemon, hard candy, but it's a little simple on the palate. Not up to the chenin blanc. Part of a three pack from duty free. Pandemic bottle #11. — 5 years ago

@Delectable Wine : This is Little Wine #11. I didn’t see it in the database.
My last bottle of the #11 Little Wine. At this point, my notes for Sami-Odi all come across as love letters because I am captivated every time I have one. I’ve still yet to smell a wine that smells as good as these do.
Pop and pour initially for a glass, then slow-ox overnight and consumed the next day. This is an assemblage of 2021 (46%), 2020 (18%), 2019 (16%), 2018 (2%), 2017 (9%), 2016 (5%) & 2015 (4%).
As is normal, the aromatics upon opening fill the room. I’ve had plenty of SamiOdi and it never ceases to amaze how powerful the aromatics are. Deep purple in the glass (stains the glass type purple). Heady aromas of concentrated red and black fruits, boysenberry jam, violets, and sweet spice. You’d think with all those big aromas the palate would slap you around, but as Fraser can do, there is a fresh profile here. It’s extremely concentrated but somehow stays light. More dark fruits (freshly squeezed), espresso, small hint of both oak and green herbs down the middle to frame it. Tannins were still powerful on day two, but by no means overly so. Give this a half day decant, or slow ox overnight, and you’ll be enthralled.
Thankfully I’ve got the HD’s resting, and more on the way. — 8 months ago
