Drinking this from Mags the 2012! Yes, open it & decant & filter it for 4+ hours. Wonderful wine in the glass. Did I mention the grape vines are from Domaine Romanee Conti grafting. Still not ready could use another 5-6 years maybe in the mags. Old school Burgundy feel in the mouth. Plums & Cherry overtones. Very Finesse type of wine. I look forward to having more over the years.

I guess they hold them for 5 years until they are released in 2013. Started tasting it in 2020 when I picked a few cases on a whim. Very well made Syrah in traditional style from CA grapes. It is very very dark in the bottle due to being unfiltered, you will need to filter it & decant it! Once opened up for a few hours it has black cherry and berry overtones with a long solid finish. Seems to always surprise me every bottle I open over the last few years.

Copain has done well on the Pinot. It still has nice fruit & takes time to evolve in the glass. Consistently having this wine over 6 months about 1 bottle a month & it seems to always be good choice & drinks well.
