  March 24, 2021 - I’m not sure if this is an exceptionally good Ciel cab, or if I’m in shock at how good this is for a 2011 vintage. Either way it was exceeding enjoyable over two nights, and definitely improved on the second day.

  October 8, 2020 - Poof, and the bottle was gone. Probably the easiest drinking Fidelitas I have ever tasted, in a sweet spot where CdC fruit from a so-called off year is really singing.
  
  Characteristics ( one hour decant): dark berries, a touch of bramble and cigar on nose. Smooth tannins, lovely balance, medium+ finish

  July 17, 2020 - Good. Pop and pour. Nose with black cherry, chocolate with a touch of vanilla and cedar toast. On the palate, soft acidity, cassis and black cherry liqueur, a bit headier than I remember, finely grained tannin on the black cherry finish. I think my last btl was probably better.

  February 13, 2019 - This is another nice one from Fidelitas. Better after an hour decant for more immediate use.

  December 1, 2018 - Softened up a lot. Still good though. Supple, lots of black cherry, chocolate, minerals.
