Tasting notes
The 2017 Syrah Brosseau is another exceptional wine in this range from Copain. Dark, brooding and intense in the glass, the 2017 needs a bit of air to emerge, but when it does, turns utterly captivating. A black cherry, plum, lavender, menthol and blood orange infusion gives the Brosseau tons of character. The tannins need time to soften, so readers need to be patient.

Another highlight in this range, the 2017 Syrah Brosseau is enticing. Medium in body and yet somehow also quite rich in feel, the Brosseau has a lot going on. Time in the glass brings out an attractive range of inky blue/purplish fruit, lavender, spice and menthol notes. More than anything else though, the Brosseau is differentiated by its creaminess and textural depth.
