The blackberry and blueberry character is impressive on the nose with some licorice and graphite. Salty. Full-bodied, tannic and velvety. Powerful finish. Chewy. Best Faugères ever?

Ripe. with crushed plum and boysenberry puree notes. yet fresh. showing good lift throughout. A swath of roasted apple wood flavors on the finish needs to get soaked up. but there's enough depth of fruit for that.

The 2018 Faugères. which was harvested beginning September 25. is composed of 85% Merlot. 10% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Deep garnet-purple colored. it slips sensuously from the glass with notions of blackberry compote. wild blueberries and redcurrant jelly with hints of cardamom. cigar box and dusty soil plus a waft of star anise. Full-bodied and built like a brick house. it has a firm backbone of rounded tannins with bold freshness and loads of black fruit preserves layers. finishing long and spicy.

The 2018 Faugeres is fresh. lively and quite deep. with a striking interplay of floral top notes and rich. layered fruit. I sense a shift towards a more refined style. Even so. there is plenty of the depth and textural richness readers have become accustomed to. Dark red fruit. espresso. cedar and dried flowers add lovely shades of aromatic nuance as well as energy. The 2018 is beautifully rendered. The blend is 85% Merlot. 10% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Proprietor Silvio Denz and consulting winemake Michel Rolland turned out a gorgeous Faugeres in 2018. My only real critique is that Faugeres and the pure Peby Faugeres are more closer in style than they usually are. which is remarkable as the blends are totally different! Tasted three times.
