Top Notes For
"Odedi"

Ruby in color with a brick rim.

Beautiful nose with red and black fruits, roses, nuts, light cedar, earth, herbs, chocolates and black pepper.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with cherries, raspberries, spices, blueberries, plums, earth, light wood and coffee.

Long finish with grippy tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a delicious Barolo from Piedmont. Showing nice complexity with a great mouthfeel.

This Single Vineyard is still very young, but already enjoyable even by itself as a sipping wine. Elegant and robust at the same time.

Very approachable now, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years. Has good potential to become a 94+ point wine.

Will also pair very nicely with food.

100% Nebbiolo grapes were aged in large oak barrels for 32 months.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

$60.

Nice emerging tertiary characteristics. Does shut down after an hour open.

This pairs best with red meat from the grill and less with anything that has acid (tomatoes). Decant and it’s beautiful! TBL

Almost eight years and it's enough, I think. I haven't smelled and tasted any fruits. The wine is very oak with a wet earthy notes, leather. High acidity, but tannins are rather soft.

2014 tough year due to hail and humidity. Mellow with lots of fruit expression and spice.
