Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, November 6, 2012 - Dark purple in color with a very ripe fruit-driven nose that hits you like a blackberry pie in the face. Big and largely one-dimensional, and entirely the opposite of what I have come to expect from Copain. On the palate there is also some strawberry jam and quite a bit of heat and tannin. I don't think this is in any danger of going downhill but I am not sure about the upside either. This will appeal much more to fans of big ripe syrah/shiraz, but it is not really doing it for me.
Postscript: this improved to my taste on day 2 and 3 (after being gassed and refrigerated). Still a bit of a one trick pony, but my wife enjoyed this quite a bit.
