Copain "Les Copains" James Berry Vyd. Paso Robles 2004

Slightly deeper red.

Deeper cherry aromatics, but also more pent up. A bit of a confectionary aspect.

Deep and sweet, with immediate acid/chew. Hot vintage, from what I hear. Seems loaded, in comparison to the 2003, but also dis-jointed. Will this mellow out and fully express?

Day 4 - Nose hasn't changed much. Reticent, but there seems to be a huge load of fruit waiting to burst out (so to speak).
Hasn't changed a bit in the mouth. This will be interesting to follow.
