Needed only a 30 minute decant (with slight sediment) to open. Dark purple color with a faded rim. Great nose of black fruit, cocoa and cassis. Blackberry, cassis, black cherry, cocoa and a bit of minerality on the medium bodied palate, with balancing acidity and resolved tannins. A great effort by Fred that is now in a wonderful place and will hold for many years.

Absolutely singing right now. Everything is in great balance. Held up really well on day 2 as well.

I see my last bottle was 3 years ago. Still youthful with firm tannins and abundant fruit. Delicious.

Needs either a much longer decant (only did one hr and drank over next two) or listen to the drinking window and wait 2 more years.
