Top Notes For
Tom Casagrande

Great nose features earthy underbrush, roasted herbs, kirsch, and old barrel scents. Mouthfilling flavors are not too extracted, showing loads of savory notes and lots of iodine-tinged minerality. Tannins are soft initially but poke through in the back half of the palate, as does the peppery heat of the alcohol (15%). Acids are on the low-ish side. Finish is clingy and long. As a matter of personal principle, I usually decline to buy wines that are 15% or more, but I got this from Garagiste, which didn’t state the alcohol content, and I clicked purchase before checking. Still, pretty good.

This is textbook CdP. A little Brett-y funk on the nose and in the mid-palate but finishes long and soft with intense cherry cough syrup yumminesss.
