Sipping Fine Wine

9.3

Blend of 61% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot and 6% Cabernet Franc, deep Ruby with aromas of dark fruits, smoke and flinty notes, aged 40% new French oak. On the palate flavors of blackberry and black cherry with cacao, cedar, espresso and spicy notes. Lively acidity, firm dusty tannins, medium+ finish ending with fruit, tobacco and spicy oak. Needs a little more time in bottle. — 3 months ago

"Odedi"

9.1

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Fruity nose of black fruits with wood, earth, vegetables, licorice and spices.

Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing red and blue fruits with light wood, tobacco leaf, vegetables, spices, peppercorn, chocolates, graphite and dark coffee.

This 9 year old Cabernet Sauvignon based blend from Saint Estephe still feels young and needs a few more years in the bottle to mature properly. Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.

Good by itself and will pair nicely with a big piece of steak.

A blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot and 5% Cabernet Franc. Aged in all new French oak barrels for 15 months.

13.5% alcohol by volume.

2019 vintage. Much better than expected, this is up to its Cru Classé status. Classic Saint-Estèphe and very good value. Since the owner of Cos d'Estournel bought this neighbouring estate, this will be a Château to follow. — 8 months ago

Wow I don’t drink a lot of Bordeaux but this was for a very special birthday and a big bottle seems in order ... it lived up to all expectations ... filled with many savory aromas in flavors like mushrooms, beef jerky, soy sauce but then also the trademark graphite/pencil lead quality. At 19 still seemed to have some years left to go before peaking!

Great wine! Had this wine about 2 years ago. It changed dramatically in the glass over the course of 45-60 minutes. Can't wait to open the other bottles in the future... Near future. :) — 11 years ago

A great Cru Artisan producer, this is ready to go at age 9. Well balanced, primary and tertiary flavors emerging, excellent freshness and length. Currants, cassis, a touch of capsicum. Old school Bordeaux! — 2 years ago

So much going on with this Saint Estephe... Pencil lead, bacon fat, black current, blackberry, black cherry, red pepper flakes, dried tomato, peperroni, bell pepper, leather, dark chocolate, pipe tobacco, lilac.

Chalky tannins (med+) and mouthfeel. Very complex. Good vibrant acidity. Kinda mindblowingly complex actually. Yeah, I could write a short story about this wine. — 8 years ago
