Slightly more elegant and supple than the 2007. Silky mouth feel. Fantastic wine.

Absolutely stunning. So elegant and harmonious. Strong aromatics of spice box, earth and peppery fruit. Layers upon layers of currants, fresh leather, dirt road and purple flowers.
Easily the wine of the tasting. A pleasant surprise to be able to sample this rare bottling.

Really impressive Pinot from Copain. Not cheap but beautiful earth meets spice elements. Some tannin which should allow this to age nicely.

Touch of earth I enjoyed that I didn't find in the '10. Nice mid palate. Good but still pricey.
