Community Tasting Note

Thursday, May 15, 2014 - I was somewhat disappointed in this.

Slow ox for 2+ hours. Medium/dark ruby color. Nose of cherry, pepper, light bret, and a little hot. On the palate strong red fruit and high alcohol. Medium/light acidity and gripping tannin. Fairly long finish.

The heat on this wine threw it out of balance for me. I have liked a lot of 2008 CdP because they tend to be approachable in their youth and tend to have more subdued, elegant profiles than the 07, 09, or 10; but this wine was anything but approachable or subdued.
