2004 Copain Syrah Cailloux & Coccinelle - USA, Washington, Columbia Valley, Walla Walla Valley (9/26/2007) WIML87 Tasted September 26, 2007. Dark purple color in the glass, clear hue throughout. Nose of roasted meat dominates with a slightly off-putting herbaceousness. Flavors of red berries and red cherries; almost jammy on the palate. Light acidity, medium to firm tannins, medium to full body. Drinking now with a decant might help or keep holding and see if it happens to resolve in bottle. Tasted twice now and this bottle was much less enjoyable than the first (87 pts.)

That is a bummer - will hold my remaining two for several more years. The Cayuse of the same vineyards typically needs a number of years- perhaps the same case here - what do you think?

Don't know to be honest. I'd say that' the best option.
