The Ode d'Aydie is made from top quality vines and aged partly in new oak barrels and partly in large oak vats. This produces a sweeter and richer wine than more basic Madirans, with suggestions of plums and tobacco. Elegant in its deep, bright blackness. Leaves intense smoky aromas, fragrances of vanilla and menthol, notes of balsamic, full-bodied, velvety and structured. Suggested food match: Duck breast with roasted mushrooms and potatoes.
Winery notes (2018 Vintage)
"This wine is a deep, intense red. Elegant on the nose, with aromas of black fruits (blueberry and blackberry) dominating the hint of spice. A remarkable fullness on the palate, with tannic chewiness and unexpected roundness. The long finish has vanilla delicacy. A delightful wine, both powerful and elegant. It can easily be kept for 8 to 10 years."
90/100 Wine Enthusiast (2018 Vintage)
"While this wine is full, dense and powerful, it also has attractive black fruits and a softened texture. Juicy and packed with fruitiness, the wine is ready to drink."
