Top Notes For
"Odedi"

Dark ruby in color with a reddish rim.

On the nose cherries, blueberries, raspberries, earth, light vanilla, wood, licorice, eucalyptus, river rocks, wet leaves, spices, graphite and black pepper.

Medium-bodied with medium plus acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate with blueberries, cherries, raspberries, licorice, coke, cloves, spices, earth, pencil lead, vegetables and black pepper.

Medium finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cranberries.


This is a young Chateauneuf du Pape, that needs a couple of years to mature and remove much of the acidity.

Unbalanced at this point and better with food. Showing a nice mouthfeel and nice complexity.

Needs an hour to open up properly and show some tannins.

A blend of 90% Grenache, 5% Syrah and 5% Mourvedre. Aged in oak barrels for 10 months.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

87 Points.

$30.

Color granate con muestras de evolución, expresivo en aromas a frutos rojos en mermelada. En boca armónico con sus aromas, de ataque suave y persistencia moderada.
