Top Notes For
"Odedi"

Light ruby in color with a purplish rim.

On the nose, blueberries, cherries, strawberries, wood, earth, forest floor, minerals, spices and black pepper.

Tart on the palate with cherries, pomegranate, sour strawberries, forest floor, cedar, licorice and black pepper.

Medium-bodied with high acidity.

Short, tart finish with soft tannins and tart strawberries.

This Tuscan Red is not my taste. Found it to be very simple, nothing special really. Good food wine, though.

13% alcohol by volume.

scent is cherry, plum, semi intense. very strong sour fruit taste on sip, the finish leaves a bit to be desired. better after aerating. UPDATE: after drinking more of this wine, it honestly tastes like sherry or a cheap port. not good for drinking, but would be good for cooking

Rich on the nose, cherry and tannins.
Sour taste, dusty, medium finish.
Deep color.
Flavor dulls/flattens as you drink.
After aeration: softer, more palatable,
You get what you pay for, would be an excellent cooking wine.

Not bad, but table wine at best. A $7 bottle to me.
