Top Notes For
"Odedi"

Dark ruby in color with a purplish rim.

On the nose blueberries, plums, cherries, licorice, oak, vanilla, vegetables, eucalyptus, spices, herbs, dark coffee, earth, thyme and black pepper.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity and nice legs.

Dry on the palate with plums, cherries, strawberries, currants, wood, light vanilla, tobacco, vegetables, earth, wet leaves, herbs, spices, bitter herbs and black pepper.

Short finish with soft tannins and tangy cranberries.

This is a simple Merlot from Chile.
Unbalanced with a soft mouthfeel. Better with food than just by itself. Nothing special and not for me.

13% alcohol by volume.

78 points.

$10.

Medium body and dried with touch of fruit. My favorite well balanced. Very value for money.
