"Odedi"

9.0

This is a nice and easy drinking Grenache from Châteauneuf-du-Pape.

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

Spicy finish with soft tannins and tangy raspberries.

Showing nice complexity with a soft mouthfeel. Nicely balanced and elegant.

Still young, and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly. Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.

I had this vintage a year ago at the winery, and it was drinking so much better then.

Good by itself and better with food.

A blend of 80% Grenache, 10% Syrah and 10% Mourvedre. Aged in (20% new) large French oak barrels.

15.5% alcohol by volume.

90 points.

Out of a magnum, we drank it for Easter 2022. Perfectly mature, ready, but with many more years ahead of it. Full body, nicely balanced, so dense and concentrated, complex, and so tasty. — 4 years ago

There is enough depth, concentration, and balance here to justify $23. The 14.5% abv is dangerously well integrated. Delicious, with subtle acid and a pleasing mineral edge. Great example of a well-made Cotes-du-Rhone. 50% grenache, 30% syrah, 20% carignane. — 11 years ago

2024 vintage. Upper $30’s USD a bottle resto cost. Such a nice change as this was a crowd pleaser and covers a lot of food matchup/simple drinking pleasure bases. 8.26.26. — a month ago

Wow! So much better value than some CdP.
Plum, cassis, licorice, leather, and earth. Decanted for 30 minutes. This is just entering its drinking window so no rush... — 8 years ago

Rainy French cheese and rose-day. Full bodied for a pink, but with great perfume. Normally not my favorite rose AOC, but this is great. — 11 years ago

Gnarly dark fruit with dried herb undertow, leather, black pepper, a bit of tar and savory fruit. Old school. Drinking well — 9 months ago

Ahh Tavel. Jolly Rancher? Perhaps. Watermelon-yes. Blood Orange & red berries. Perfect for the Dog Days of summer. Still, Mordorée is my favorite but this is very nice and priced well. — 9 years ago

I really loved this. Crisp, clean, slightly acidic and a hint of sweetness. Very easy to drink. Went well with both seafood and quail of all things. 👍 — 11 years ago
