"Odedi" 
Beautiful ruby/ brick in color with a wide brick rim. On the nose red fruits with light oak, licorice, spices, tobacco leaf, herbs, coffee, dark chocolates, light vegetables, wet leaves and light vinaigrette. Medium plus in body with medium acidity and long legs. Dry on the palate with cherries, raspberries, tobacco leaf, dark coffee, dark chocolates, earth, wet leaves, herbs, black pepper, light vegetables and spices. Medium finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries. This 9 year old Super Tuscan is drinking beautifully now. Elegant and complex with a soft mouthfeel. This is not Sassicaia, its older brother, but very enjoyable nonetheless. Nicely balanced, rich and elegant. Showing lots of sweet red fruits with earth notes to balance them out. Feels more like a Brunelo di Montalcino, and feels much older than it is. Might be the way it was stored. Wine Spectator 92 points. Good by itself or with food. I paired with light appetizers. A blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot. 12.5% alcohol by volume. 91 points. $60.

Яркие ароматика и вкус чёрных и красных ягод, специй, шоколада. Легкий тон третички только появляется. Элегантное тело, хорошая кислотность, чуть цепляющие танины, долгое послевкусие. Пить его рановато, имеет потенциал, но и сейчас интересно наблюдать за развитием. Wset Appearance: Clear, medium, ruby, legs. No co2, no sediment; Nose: Clean, medium+, primary: red fruits: red plum, red cherry; black fruits: blackberry, black currant; Secondary: spices, vanilla, chocolate, leather. Tertiary aromas are starting. Developing Palate: dry, medium+ acidity, medium+ tannins, stalky; alcohol medium, body medium; flavor intensity medium+, black fruits: black currant, blackberry, plum; red fruits: red cherry; spices, chocolate. Finish medium+ Very good quality, can drink now, but has potential for ageing.

Ok wine just never delivered. Especially, in the mid palate. @ Pebble Beach Food & Wine.

Oh yeah. Secondary wine with a champion flavour. Very good. Lots of oak influence and great sour cherry.

Lighter than the amarone I originally wanted. Paired really well with a bone in tomahawk steak that was grilled with only salt and pepper.

It’s been another couple of years since the last bottle from this box. The bouquet is deep with back current and black pepper. It tastes earthy, peppery, plums and black currant, once it opened bell peppers too. The cherry is gone. Integrated, soft, mild , back of the mouth, woody minty tannins. Moderate finish.

Very enjoyable glass of Italian red. Chocolate and redfruit nose. The Bordeaux blend blends with a little acid kick perfectly with the traditional Spaghetti n Meatballs....

Aromas of dried herbs and cherries on open. Leather, black fruit. Would have been better decanted, but still really nice.
