Februar 2022 – James Suckling

Very pretty, smoky aromas with blackberries and cherries follow through to a medium body with integrated tannins and a fresh, clean finish. Hints of tar and lemon rind. Better at the end of 2022 and onwards.

November 2021 – Yves Beck

Propriété appartenant à l’entrepreneur suisse Silvio Denz. En 2019 elle totalise 46ha dont 42ha sont en production. Le rendement moyen est de 37.5hl/ha. Que d’intensité et de typicité dans ce bouquet. Il affiche de classiques nuances minérales au travers de notes crayeuses ainsi que des parfums de myrtilles. Belle symbiose entre le côté friand et la tension crayeuse en bouche. Le vin s’en retrouve équilibré, invitant et pourra déjà être savouré dans sa jeunesse, tout en disposant de suffisamment de substance pour passer du temps en cave. 2023-2039

Dark purple colour with violet hue and black core. Quite classic nose with distinct fruit, reminiscent of ripe blackberries and blackcurrants, juicy black cherries and sweet elderberries. Subtle oak in the background. On the palate ripe yet firm tannins, fine acidity, well-structured with juicy fruit and convincing length, a very mouth-watering style with a certain class.

Dark crimson hue. Leather and damson notes. Pushes the bounds of overripeness but stays just within the limit. Polished on the palate, the tannins well integrated. Bit of grip on the finish and slight glow of alcohol.

The 2019 Cap de Faugères has a typical Fronsac bouquet with dense blackberry, briary and melted tar aromas that kind of shut the door in your face for broaching it prematurely. I don’t mind that – it’s still delineated and develops an appealing loam character. The palate is medium-bodied with quite hard tannins, a broad-shouldered and grippy wine in the making with a potent briny finish. It will certainly require several years in the cellar, but it is still a Fronsac with character.

Juni 2020 – The Wine Cellar Insider, Jeff Leve

Dark in color, the wine exudes licorice, smoke, dark chocolate, black pit fruits and cherries. Full-bodied, lushly textured and with a hedonistic, fruit and chocolate filled finish, this will offer a lot of bang for the buck. The wine was made from blending 80% old vine Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc.
