Top Notes For
"Odedi"

A tangy Pinot Noir from Burgundy. Showing red fruits with earth notes, spices and red candy.

Easy drinking and medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.

Long finish with firm tannins and tangy raspberries.

Still young and unbalanced, and would benefit from 3 to 5 years of bottle time.

Not my style, but very enjoyable.

100% Pinot Noir grapes were aged for 12 months in oak barrels.

13% alcohol by volume.

89 points.

Racy with acidity and on the cusp on just ripe. Red raspberries and mulch. A Pinot Noir for food and for lighter food. Definitely for the geek crowd.

100% Pinot Noir from Irancy SW of Chablis. Light, elegant wine tasting of raspberries, some herbal and mineral elements too.

100% Pinot Noir
Light, transparent, slightly bricky red

The nose is pretty showing red cherry, raspberry, strawberry, and new oak spices.

Dry, almost dusty tannin - very enticing. High acidity, medium light bodied (13 abv). A hint of smoke blanketing over the similar fruit profile to the bouquet. Fresh and sharp fruity finish.

Needs an hour of decanting but very much ready for business now. 88
