Domaine Filitreau I sing of thee. The wine is "tight", a Cabernet franc that needs none of the all to common help from Merlot to hold its own. Mid tannin/texture make fine drinkability. Love to smell the plum later, later. I have to urge you to decant, and drink SLOWLY. Allow some of that tightness to wain. — 9 years ago

While I enjoyed the flavors of this wine (and many other bottles by Copain wines), I found the texture of the 2011 vintaged Pinot Noir to be rather thin, compared to a previously enjoyed 2010. Low viscosity and a high vaporousness kept the tastes from lingering too long. Enjoyed it alone, actually. And don't have anything truly "bad" to say about the wine, only that I feel the Copain Syrah to be more inspired and that other vintages of this Pinot are more fun. — 9 years ago
