Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, December 23, 2009 - Copain Offline @ Fratello's In The South OC (Fratello's Laguna Niguel): My 3rd bottle this year, and as of right now, I own all the TNs in CT so these are certainly early impressions within the community. As with the bottle 2 weeks ago, this 2007 is humming. Broken rocks in the bouquet, even and balanced on the palate with black fruit, minerals and a purity like I found when I first tried it this past June with Wells @ the winery. It does add weight as the wine warms but it holds together and drinks like Thompson should, but with the added touch of Wells to add the structure and complexity. Excellent.........and following back up on this wine which is now fully decanted overnight, pure blue and black fruit, married with charcoal, crushed rocks and healthy acidity. Neither gloppy nor fat......like with the other 2007 Copains, just full of pure driven flavor and structure. Damn good and years ahead of it, which I will enjoy.
