Copain, Roussanne, James Berry Vyd. 2004

Straw/yellow.

Almond extract, cashew, with hints of creamed corn, citrus and peach on the nose. Lichee candy and floral action too.

Intense, jellied fruit and mineral entry, with very good mid-palate flesh. Any impression of sweetness tamped down by mineral/phenolic chew. Quite different than the 2005, but killer in its own, structured, way.
