Copain Roussanne James Berry Vyd. 2005

Pale yellow.

Having a hard time with the nose - understated - spiced peach/apple and a light sulfide note.

Round and mouth-filling, without being fat. Really packed with spiced peach/apple flavor, subtle vanilla and, again, a light sulfide, chewy finish which switches to canned peach. Very long - just sticks in the mouth.

At 13.8% alcohol, this is hardly a bruiser. The kind of wine you appreciate more the further you get into the bottle.

Day 2 - More open nose now. Vanilla, custard and ripe peach, like a refreshing dessert. More restrained in the mouth, absolutely delicious action.
