Dense purple/black in the glass - opaque. Not giving much on the nose initially following decanting. Needed vigorous swirling. Barossa plum, prune and earth. Very full bodied on the palate. Quite concentrated. A very big wine in comparison to many other Sami-Odi Cuvées I’ve had over the years. HH said It needs ages (“drinking window of 2018 to 2041 - over extracted?)” I tend to think the difficult vintage conditions in 2014 as explained by Fraser is the reason. Harvest was a full 2 months later than normal - harvesting the 2nd shooting of the vines during the first 2 weeks of April. Yielding only 274 dozen. This wine has a long cellaring future. An element of tannic astringency which is more a result of the size of the wine. This is the first of 3 bottles I purchased in 2016. It will be many years before I have the next one. — a year ago

Last wine (#5) of a long line of bottles with family, & which accompanied us with a raucous NBA playoff game. A ‘ big’ cab franc heavy on gorgeous juicy & crushed red fruits. Always a low tannin affair with a lovely fine grain texture. No bell pepper to be found. Larger glasses & air greatly help. — 8 months ago

PINOTNOIR-TASTING#5
Tuiled dress, expressive nose. Slightly oxidized, nuts. evolved character, mushrooms, strawberry and spice notes. Fine and airy mouth of a beautiful intensity. Advanced notes and declining freshness suggest that this wine is at the end of its peak. A beautiful jewel to drink now.

Robe tuilée, nez expressif. Légèrement oxydé, noix. caractère évolué, champignons, notes de fraise et d’épice. Bouche fine et aerienne d’une belle intensité. Des notes évoluées et la fraîcheur déclinante suggèrent que ce vin est sur la fin de son apogée. Un beau bijoux à boire maintenant. — 2 years ago

Wine #5 at the Truffle dinner with wines from Piedmont. Barolo - the King of Wines. 15% ABV but doesn’t come across that high. Well integrated despite age. This wine gives you ripe berries, earth and first. This wine is beautiful. @55 Seventy — 2 years ago
