  Tasted with 2 other older Copain Syrahs. Soft, clean red fruit aromas. The palate is bright and fresh with red fruits, lovely stuff. Cherries, currants, even a hint of crushed basil. Brilliant acidity, polished tannins, great balance. Finishes long and lively with spicy, peppery notes. A refreshing mouthfeel across the palate. First rate stuff. Count on it drinking well for 3 to 5 years more (at least). 14.5% ABV.

  From mag. Poured for my daughter’s party and it was being poured from as we got ready to leave. I did get a glass and it is surely of the old era Copain, with a darker fruit, a roasted red cherry quality and some bitter chocolate. Didn’t sense any of the whole cluster nor booze that I put in my note from 2015 so perhaps the wine is evolving. It also seemed to still have a good energy, some lift so I don’t think it is fading either. Overall, I used to enjoy more this style but if I have to choose now what I want to drink, would gladly take Brosseau or Hawks Butte over this.

  Not even close to other Thompson Syrahs I’ve had. It has an odd tart acidity that throws it off balance. Very oaky. Great nose though. Give me a Jaffurs’ Thompson any day over these.

  P&P. Though I scored it the same as my last bottle, this was a more complete and highly enjoyable experience. Specifically, this avoided the drying sensation, allowing the boysenberry fruit to shine from the warm 07 vintage. Furthermore, good complexity and layers, classic SBC olive and briary notes. Just down to 2 x 07 James Berrys and a lone 07 HB from Copain. All have been fun (HB is terrific) and give me warm and nostalgic feelings as they slide down the gullet.
