June 19, 2020 - Wine in the time of Corona Virus - Quarantining in NYC & NH; 3/7/2020-9/1/2020 (NYC/NH): Purchased at release. Popped and poured, last bottle of the night - so balance was held over until Day 2. Another good showing for one of these aged Copain Syrahs, savory and mature, with a light mouthfeel - a bit more red fruited than dark. Ready to go now, but should hold for a while in the cellar.

January 9, 2020 - Decanted for an hour prior to serving. This is drinking in a really nice place, but should hold for a while. Fragrant nose of red fruit and earth - color is ruby red. Palate has juicy red fruit with some hints of savory notes and a good spine of acidity for freshness. Out of four wines shared with friends tonight, this was the favorite.

December 9, 2019 - Very polished, medium bodied, great mouthfeel. Likely at or near its peak.Restrained in style.
Delicious on its own or with food. -

July 27, 2019 - Deep, dark cherry red color. Shoe polish nose at first, with reticent dark fruit flavors. Bright acidity on the palate, medium weight, plushly textured. So balanced, and in a perfect spot right now. Wow. Best Syrah I've had from Copain. Easily good for five more years. Sourced from the winery.
