Top Notes For
"Odedi"

This is a very nice 7 year old Cabernet Sauvignon from Australia.

Dry and fruity on the palate with blackberries, black currants, cooked cherries, earth, cedar, leather, licorice, peppercorn, spices, green vegetables, chocolates and tobacco.

Full bodied and bold with medium acidity and nice legs.

Long finish with round tannins and tangy cranberries.

Good right out of the bottle and better as it opens up (1 hour). After 3 hours, earth notes come in.

Very tasty and rich, with a great mouthfeel and nice complexity.

Good by itself or with food. I paired it with cheeses and light appetizers.

Aged for 22 months in French oak (28% New). Vegan.


14.2% alcohol by volume.

92 points.
