Copain, Syrah, Brosseau, Chalone 2005

Purple/red.

Integrated fresh black fruit, menthol, black pepper. No heat, nothing crazy, just deep, even and pure.

Intense and slightly aggressive with acidity in the mouth. Good flesh and mid-palate flavor, but acid-constriction really cuts into flavor flow. This will be an interesting bottling to follow. I don't see a great deal of stem contribution here.

Day 5 - Simpler now, still vibrant.
