"Odedi" 
#AgedWineTuesday Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim. Nice nose of black currants, plums, strawberries, sweet cherries, light wood, spices, coffee, dark chocolates, earth, cinnamon, eucalyptus and peppercorn. Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity and long legs. Dry on the palate with blueberries, black currants, wood, licorice, light vanilla, chocolates, beef jerky, spices, dark coffee, pencil lead, earth, light vegetables, tobacco and peppercorn. Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries. This is a great GSM Blend from Paso Robles. Showing great complexity with a nice mouthfeel. Needs 3 hours to open up properly, but good after an hour of airtime. Tannins show up after 2 hours in the decanter. This 15 years old is good by itself or with food. Feels more like a 10 to 15 year old, good quality, Right Bank Bordeaux. Wine Enthusiasts 89 points (big miss). Really enjoyed smelling on it for a while. Delicious and tasty. Thank you Scott for sharing this with me. A blend of 74% Syrah, 24% Grenache and 2% Mourvedre. 15.5% alcohol by volume. 93 points. $125 (current vintage)

Blinded against Close St Jean CdP and they were well matched. Tough to call. Both a similar style. At this age not the bombastic Saxum from earlier years. In a good place.

ダークチェリー、プラム、カカオ、 タンニンは丸くなり少しだけ甘やか、酸は控えめ。 トータルなボリューム感がありバランスが取れている。想像以上に美味しかった。

Great dark plum. Huge fruit, with prefect balance. Like France on steroids

4th of July Paso BBQ Paso fight. I've yet to have a bottle of Stones that I didn't love!

A little funky nose on opening, like asparagus, but it blew off and tasted fine!
