This was still fermenting a little in the bottle. Actually pushed the cork out of a couple of bottles on the shelf.m Meant I couldn’t sell them so staff had to drink them. Delicious! — 4 months ago
Let it breath for up to 2 hours. It matures and mellows out and becomes quite balanced and good. — 13 hours ago

2011 vintage. Estate with 46 hectares of vineyards owned by Silvio Denz (also Faugères, Péby-Faugères and Roycheron in Saint-Emilion , and Lafayrie-Peyraguey in Sauternes). Sometimes criticised for the modern style, the truth is in the glass. And this Cap de Faugères from a difficult vintage absolutely delivers for the price (9,90 euro). Deep red colour with only a slight evolution at the rim. The nose is a bit jammy, but the mouth is much better with the ripe fruit balanced by the acidity and well-tamed tannin. It may be not the most subtle wine, but it's a very attractive right bank Bordeaux at its peak and a strong effort for the vintage. — 3 years ago
Golden hue. Aromas of apple, dried fig, golden raisin, honey, orange zest, peach. Full body and high acid. Mouth-coating and creamy texture on palate, with a slight mineral finish that begs for refills. Rich, decadent and delicious. 90% Semillon, 8% Sauvignon Blanc, 2% Muscadelle. — a month ago

Jerky, bacon, violets, pink peppercorn. Also some mud and decomposition. Really nice though. — 13 days ago
