Community Tasting Note

• pifcho Likes this wine: 92 points

  December 25, 2013 - I really need to stick with "off vintage" CDP. This is Burgundian in texture yet with all the rich Grenache fruit, herbal and earthy profile. Super fresh and tasty. No alcohol sticking out, no overextraction - love it. Very developed and complex nose. Glad I have more.
