This is good, not great. It's not a fruit bomb, but it also doesn't seem to have any pizazz. Fruit is light, tannins are light. It's enjoyable, but doesn't make you want more. And at $40+ a bottle, you expect more. Pazzz.

Odom Tasting (Marxx Bros.): Smoke, smoke, and more smokey garrigue on the nose. Jammy fruits of blackberry, loads of oak, and medium-high acidity. Not as rich and full bodied or intese as expected, especially after the initial whaff of the nose. Good but not great, and definitely not cheap. I like other Zaca Mesa products better, as well as other products in this price point. Kind of disappointed.

No notes taken.
3 hr decant (to spin off alcohol faults).
Big brooding style.
Great heft, reasonable black pepper on the back end.
Good tannins throughout.
Solo or with food.
Can easily age to 2016.
