Othello is a Bordeaux-style blend, which may include varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. The exact blend for 2021 would depend on the vintage conditions and winemaking decisions.
The wine is likely to have a deep, opaque ruby or garnet color, indicative of a rich and concentrated blend.
Expect a complex bouquet with aromas of dark berries (blackberry, blackcurrant), plum, and potentially hints of cherry. Additional notes might include spice (like black pepper or clove), tobacco, leather, and subtle earthy undertones. Oak aging could contribute notes of vanilla, cedar, and toast.
On the palate, the Othello should be well-structured and full-bodied, with flavors of ripe dark fruit, such as blackberry and cassis. You might find secondary notes of chocolate, coffee, and spice. The tannins are likely to be firm yet polished, providing a solid framework for the wine’s fruit and acidity.
The finish is expected to be long and harmonious, showcasing the wine’s depth and complexity with a balanced blend of fruit, tannins, and acidity.
