"Odedi"

9.4

A very enjoyable, and very complex, 21 year old red blend from Pessac Léognan, Bordeaux.

Showing red and black fruits with earth, chocolates, tobacco, dark peppercorn, dark coffee, forest floor, green vegetables, graphites, vinaigrette and spices.

Needs 3 hours to open up properly and show the complexity.

Peaking now, and will be good in the next few years. What a treat. This is so delicious.

Wine Advocate 93 points.

I paired it with a charcuterie board of meats and cheeses.

A blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc.

13% alcohol by volume.

Inky and leggy. Deep dark currents, blackberries, hint of oak. There’s a sensation of bursting - the sensation of rich ripe fruit. The dust of tannin doesn’t overwhelm nor does the floral create a feminine flounce of near silliness. Celebratory without solemnity. Saxophone. Snare drum. A single alto female- singing I’ll Fly Away - Etta James- not a bluegrass version-this is heavier stuff. Why yes- another glass.... cheese? Dark chocolate? Yes! — 7 years ago

Great wine in our room having some wine and cheese for dinner. It was a great buy and really hit the spot. I think this will be a trip of “risk and reward”. So what is the price point and how good is it???? This is a really nice wine. Would have it again for sure. — 8 years ago

A very good cheese, in this case a Bleu d'Auvergne, was a superb combination to this fantastic Loire wine. Lovely aromas of honey, saffron, bitter almond. We loved it! — 9 years ago

The simple rating: more than does the job. Definitely love the crisp and dry taste that borders on being a "fake" sparkling after taste. I did pair this with a Sweetgreen Harvest Bowl that had kale, goat cheese, sweet potato, chicken, almonds...and more. The wine itself is keto friendly even though I am not, ha. — 7 years ago

Super healthy grape, which is often overbearing, this is remarkable smooth(would love to see what it does in 5-10 years). Past ripe cherry up front, expected but somewhat mild vanilla tinged tannin finish lasting longer than expected. Absolute great wine with some Brie cheese- no competition! — 7 years ago

Great bargain; enjoyed with nectarine and blue cheese salad; I agree it's clean and crisp; a good lemon-lime note. — 8 years ago

It's always a good day when you get to have some Krug champagne. Crisp apple, creamy cheese and the perfect balance on the tongue. — 9 years ago

The remains of the day.. paired with a buffalo chicken grilled cheese sandwich. Not a good match obviously for the understated flavor style of the wine. There’s definitely sexier more vivacious champagne you can be drinking for far less money. Would like to taste again under different circumstances with some more age on it.

Citrus, chalk and dusty rock on the nose. A champagne with great acidity and pretty dry. Pairs well with oysters and brie cheese — 8 years ago

Although this one did tend to have a citrus rich body, it is definitely a malo mouthfeel and more of a buttery chard. This wine was still quite delicious, and it's not really even my style. I was getting some lemongrass on the front, with a peach and mango note in the middle. The finish is more on the buttery side for my taste, but still went lovely with cheese and meat. Probably would have gone very well with Italian spiced nuts or with an herbal chicken dish. I believe this wine probably would have been more comprehensive if served with food. I think this one definitely has the longevity to age, but I'd put more stock in the Judge chard to do that most effectively. — 8 years ago
