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

23’s continue to astound.

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. — a month ago

Perrarus 2 Art Series Version 2 Cabernet Sauvignon

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

Was this a blind tasting with bottles covered until the end or brand power? Obviously not your favorite based on your other ratings.

Yes completely blind and yes, not my favorite. Others had a bit more depth of flavor in my opinion.

Don’t get me wrong, it was a very nice wine, I just liked others better. At the price point it was a great wine.

@Somm David T Lawrence Fairchild is from Nebraska so I see him from time to time. He’s been generous, sharing Parrus 2 with me and other Fairchild wines.

Stones No. 2 Perrarus Chardonnay

Coolest bottle out there. I’m getting a more floral than fruit bouquet. Pretty mild all around. Some peach, apricot and lemon. Mild acidity. Very smooth. Will try again tomorrow to see how it is second day. Second night: enhanced flavors, more fullness. — 6 years ago
