Community Tasting Note

COLOR: Brick-garnet, translucent
NOTE: Not nearly the same religious experience as other well-traveled adventurers have noted in recent posts. It is good, solid, but seems to be past its peak. The nose is crushed dried leaves, raspberry, garrigue, cherry tobacco, oiled leather. The mouth has a nice level of glycerin buttressed by significant red cherry and raspberry fruit, more cherry pipe tobacco, cinnamon and nutmeg. The finish features the same red fruit but fades quite fast, which really takes this down 2-3 points. It's good, but not great. If this is a typical bottle and you like your CDPs fruity, then drink up now!

DECANT: 1-3 hours
GLASS USED: Pinot Noir
TASTE: 9.3
COST: 103
VALUE: 3.0
TRY AGAIN: now - 2015
PAIRING: New York Strip
