"Odedi"

9.2

Dark ruby in color with a reddish rim.

Fruity nose and medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry and fruit forward on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing blackberries, cooked cherries, raisins, cedar, dried fruits, vanilla, chocolates, tobacco, herbs, spices and light earth.

Long finish with soft tannins and cherries.

This 10 year old Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley is drinking beautifully now. Rich, elegant and fruit forward.

Drinking at its peak now. Nicely balanced and smooth, with a soft mouthfeel.

Delicious right out of the bottle, and even better after 30 minutes of airtime. I did not decant it, but let it open up in the bottle. Really enjoyed the nose after an hour of airtime.

Easy drinking, and good by itself as a sipping wine, or with a nice piece of steak.

A blend of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Petit Verdot, 5% Merlot and 1% Cabernet Franc.

14.7% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

En mag. Fully mature, calm and assertive with much specific pleasure. Not much upside to holding. — 19 days ago

A great friend brought this magnum to thanksgiving in days of yore when we still lived in NYC, and I held off to give it due time…a decade or so later it shined with a youthful vivacity that I wish I could match! — 19 days ago
