Community Tasting Note

Sunday, December 30, 2012 - Slightly lighter colour than one is accustomed to for CdP - more garnet than cherry. Very attractive aromatic profile: blueberries, vanilla, saddle leather and a touch of horse sweat, like a top-flight Ribera del Duero. The 2007 vintage was outstanding but I'm not sure this wine, for all its virtues, reflects the pedigree of the vintage. On the palate it's taut, silky and richly fragrant - dominant notes are cocoa, cinnamon, cream and pine needles. Delicious and elegant, but missing the wow-factor that CdP is so commonly capable of. Notwithstanding these reservations, this is still a 92-93 pointer.
