"Odedi"

9.2

Inky in color with short purple rim.

Strong nose of black currants, plums, oak, tar, licorice, spices, charcoal and light blood notes.

Full-bodied and bold with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate with black currants, black plums, dark chocolates, oak, spices, licorice, tobacco and peppercorn.

Long finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a delicious Syrah from Red Mountain in Washington State. Rich and extracted, yet not in your face kind of wine.

This Single Vineyard Syrah is well balanced with nice complexity. Fruit forward and spicy.

I had the 2022 not too long ago, and it definitely gets better with age. Will continue to age nicely in the next 7 years.

Good by itself as a sipping wine. A New world Syrah on the nose and palate.

100% Syrah grapes were aged for 18 months in 50% new oak barrels. 80% french and 20% American oak barrels. A small production of only 3,000 bottles. Unfiltered.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

This is drinking so well. Nose of cassis, redcurrant, classic Margaux flowers, green peppercorn (Carmenere), crazy florals, just a masterful nose. Leather and glorious spice. Palate is wide and sleek, elegant and decadent than sharply concentrated and sweet. The tannins are sweet and aggressive but the fruit is extraordinary and in a few hours I see this being even more supple. Fantastic. — 19 days ago

Blend of Merlot (70%), Cabernet Sauvignon (15%) and Cabernet Franc (15%). Dark ruby color with a garnet rim. Aromas of dark berry fruit, violets, wood smoke and leather. Blackberry, black plum, black currant fruit flavors with a distinct note of dark chocolate. Hint of black pepper spice on the long and earthy finish. Chewy tannins and a big hit of acidity, which will probably tone down with more bottle age. Needs a bit more rest. Thanks for sharing, Keith S! — 5 months ago

BDX blend with 65% Merlot, 20% Cab Franc. grippy tannins, and leathery. Fruit quite constrained. Let’s see how this bottle evolves with more air. Upped it to 90 points with two hours of air - tannins mellowed out and cassis and red fruit evolved. Nice. — 22 days ago

Poured into a decanter about an hour prior to service. The 2005 “Panoplie” pours a deep garnet color with an opaque core; medium+ viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is vinous, with notes of ripe and desiccated black and red fruit: blackberries, Marionberries, raspberries, black cherry, strawberry, leather, mushrooms, purple flowers, cocoa, old wood and a mix of dry organic and inorganic earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and simply delicious. Drink now through 2040+. — 4 months ago
