Top Notes For
"Odedi"

Brownish in color.

Pretty nose of dried fruits, coffee, black pepper, earth, light vegetables, tobacco leaf and herbs.

Medium bodied with medium plus acidity.

Dry on the palate with mild complexity.

Short finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cranberries.

Still a bit closed and tight, and needs time in the bottle to mature properly. Will continue to age nicely in the next 20 years.

I've had a few vintages of this wine and it shows best with a lot of age.

Rich, yet elegant. Tangy and interesting. A good food wine at the moment.

100% Nebbiolo grapes were for 5 years in oak barrels and concrete vats.

14% alcohol by volume.

90 points.

$100.

Still young. Put away for a long time.
