We had this with Christmas eve dinner with cornish hens, ham and assorted sides. The cork broke in half so was a bit worried that it might be corked. It was not - decanted and waited about 20 minutes - Super supple velvety goodness. While I am a bit sad that I only have one more bottle, not that it was so good and complemented the food perfectly.

Normally I love all Fidelitas wines but we both thought this was not one of their best. Lots of sludge in the bottle and dull and hardly any fruit. Very disappointing. Hope it was just this bottle.

Couldn't be more different from my previous bottle. Decanted. Nice nose, showing some oak influence (toasty though, maybe less vanilla) soft smoky notes, loads of dark red fruit and some herbs/dark earth. On the palate, good acidity, full bodied with more ripe red fruit. Mouth-coating tannin that is soft and downy, but still enveloping. Juicy finish. Tannin will probably soften more, but this is in an excellent place right now.

In a very good place right now. Prominent dark fruit, tannins resolved, delightful.
