2019 Triniceros
Michel Rolland blends Fairest Creature’s flagship magnum wine, Triniceros, by picking the best barrel selection from each of our three renowned winemakers. It is only available in oversized formats, and is extremely limited in production (approximately 500 magnum bottles).
Triniceros is derived from the Latin roots trini (three) and ceros (horns), and symbolizes the three virtuosos behind this wine. The image of Triniceros is derived from a mythical beast named Qilin in Chinese culture. This hybrid creature has the head of a dragon, the body of a tiger or a deer, and an ox’s tail.
“Is made by Michel Rolland and is a best barrel selection from all the lots available. It offers a more red and black-fruited profile, with incredible complexity in its tobacco, toasted spice, bouquet garni, and lead pencil-like aromas and flavors. This deep, rich, opulent wine has flawless balance, building yet ripe, polished tannins, an expansive mouthfeel, and one heck of an incredible finish. It’s in the same ballpark as the 2018 and can be drunk any time over the coming 20-25 years.” (99 Points, Jeb Dunnuck)
