This is my first tasting note and I picked a pretty easy wine to cut my teeth on. This is a very approachable wine right now. It's the most approachable CdR I've ever had. It has a very strong (almond) nut extract characteristic to it and I think contributes to a big time creamy mouthfeel. The tannins are very silky too. I find I waffle between loving this wine for what it is and I'm grateful for how approachable it is today and wishing the wine has more structure and grip to it. I love that I can buy this wine off the shelf now and it drinks well today and I'm not tempted to pull wines out of my very young passive cellar.
