Community Tasting Note

• grafstrb Likes this wine:

  December 26, 2012 - Annual CdP Dinner (Edina Country Club, MN): -- popped and poured --
  -- tasted a single pour non-blind over approx. 50 min., and then another pour non-blind over approx. 15 min. about 2 hours later --
  
  NOSE: zesty red/purple berries; moderate leather note; garrigue; black licorice spice; really nice.
  
  BODY: little bit of age creeping into the coloration at the wine’s edges; (forgot to note weight: seem to recall it being medium to medium-full bodied)
  
  TASTE: savory/herby; leathery; a bit horsey; tons of garrigue; drying tannin, and good acidity; 14.5% alc. well-hidden; very nice, and not typical of the ’03 CdP vintage. Drinks well now, but will probably continue to hold for at least another 5 years: I don’t see it improving much, however. My WOTN.
