Julien Fayard, winemaker for Covert Estate, Azur, Taplin Cellars, Matthew Wallace and more, stopped by Fort Worth tonight to showcase a few different wines. A pleasure to meet and share wines with!
This was almost a clone of the Terra 9, but every facet was just turned up a notch. The mid-palate showed more complexity of fruits and spice. Huge mix of fresh raspberries, blackberries, cassis and nutmeg. Needs a 2+hr decant.

While I’ve greatly enjoyed their Terra 9 label, this is my first time trying their estate wine made by Julien Fayard. There are tons of red fruits on the entry, which are balanced by baking spice and a touch of minerality. Very smooth on the entry and finish. Moderate acidity. Very good now but will likely be better in 2-3 years. Decanted for 2 hours.
