Excellent entry to start the 3. This is easy to drink elegant, well made elegance without the deep and characteristics of the other two. Hard not to open and decant now but patience will be rewarded. — 5 hours ago

Decided to open up my first bottle of the ‘16s. Definitely required at least an hour decant, then it really was enjoyable. Very ripe black and dark red fruit, tannins light and chalky, perhaps a bit off balance at this point, at least early in the bottle. Day two this really resolved nicely. Wonderfully long finish. Bottle time should be kind to this vintage. — a year ago

This is where it gets more interesting. Beautiful fruit with more characteristics & depth. Needs cellaring. 7-10 yrs plus.

I was able to enjoy a single glass of this, courtesy of Lawrence Fairchild who was sitting at the table next to mine at dinner. This bottle of Perrarus 2, Second Edition, Version 2 had been poured into a decanter prior to service. From magnum. In the glass, the wine is a deep ruby/purple color; medium+ viscosity with moderate staining of the tears and no signs of sediment. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of ripe and tart black and red fruits: cassis, black berries, plums, purple flowers, cigar box, graphite, and soft baking spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long. This is my first time trying anything from Fairchild and I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised. This wasn’t some overblown version of Cabernet Sauvignon. In fact, I found it to be balanced and quite charming! One final word: I would be doing a disservice to not mention the packaging which is nothing short of sensational. The Cedric Bouteiller artwork is awesome and hand-blown bottle has some incredible, subtle detail. Lovely stuff. Drink now through 2040. — a year ago
