Community Tasting Notes 2

  October 23, 2018 - Not amazing but not weak. I’m torn up on my different exposure to 2007 CdP. Some way to bretty. Some just not ready. Some perfect.
  
  This had good CdP fruit. Mostly aged Grenache. Some tertiary notes of pepper and herbs de Provence. Some Bret that really didn’t blow off but not in a bad way. No massive flaws. No massive “oh yeahs.” A pleasant wine probably meant for food.
  
  Farm funk as well as cigar box and saddle leather seem to be the non fruit smells that have lasted all night. ABV hasn’t been an issue. Which is +1 for 2097. Not a bottle I would seek out again, but I’m picky.
  
  Very good to excellent is where I am leaning. Though inbtruth there are better bottles out there. Maybe not from 2007, though Cuvée de Vatican has been a massive surprise and I still have Beaucastel to try. I sacrificed a Clos de Papes way too young. This vintage has be torn.

  August 3, 2017 - A lovely expression of CNDP AND THE '07 vintage. Deep fruit with refreshing acidity and a long, bracing peppery finish. Goes down easily now but with at least another 3 solid years of enjoyable drinking life in its future. Happy to have several more bottles.
