God. I loved when this was natural winemaking. Whatever Fred was doing in 2015, it was magic. I remember loving this bottle so much when I had it in 2017, I bought 3 to cellar, even though it was $50 and I didn’t know the producer and it was cab franc grown in sh-t terroir. And now I wish I’d bought a case. This has a vibrancy when you first smell it that’s indescribable. Even though it smells of manure and horse stable in a low key, cool way. When the roses and violets and berries hit, well damn. The fruit is so ripe, but cool. Completely generous but also still young, built like a fortress, and with the most ghostly pleasant tannins. The palate is so clean, sweet, cool and complex. Ethereal and transparent. What a joy! I will struggle to resist but I think i should wait 10 years to open the next of my last two bottles!
