Community Tasting Note

Thursday, October 22, 2020 - Very good Coudoulet. Very much a "baby Chateauneuf" and, for me, this is more to my liking than most of what comes from CdP these days, avoiding the excesses too often seen there. Extremely well balanced with a nice, pure beam of fruit, and a good depth to the palate.

At this point it remains youthfully open, but with plenty of tannin and stuffing to age. I'd say now is good if you'd like to catch some of the more forward, youthful fruit, but can't see it heading sharply downhill anytime soon either.
