Community Tasting Note

Friday, February 26, 2010 - Decanted for 2 hours prior to first tasting. I agree with someone else who said the color was atypical for a Vieux Telegraph. It was more burgundy in color, cranberry like almost. Nose was concentrated and well put together with blackberry, cherry, licorice, smoke, briar patch and sweet baking spices. There was a touch of that good old barnyard funk that I appreciate in CdP. The palate was full bodied and rich with blackberry, black cherry, currant, more licorice, some minerality and some more of that baking spice. Full bodied with some very bright and juicy acidity but sweet fine grained tannic structure. May age forever and I am confident this is going to gain some structure, complexity and points with some more age. The finish was long, enticing and full of more black cherry, fertile soil, briar patch and baking spice. Outstanding! 50+4+13+18+8=93 pts.
