From mag. I was very nervous about this as the cork was partially pushed out and weirdly moist under the foil. But it was totally gorgeous—go figure. The wine is in a great place, high toned raspberry and cherry, sauvage and animalistic, herbal, mesquite, feral but composed and texturally resolved.

Indeed wild, full on fruit. Great depth, a good biodynamic for a change.

QPR is off the charts. Awesome wine. Best producer in Faugeres for sure, but maybe in all of Languedoc.

Tannins firm but playing a supporting role. A pleasure to follow the evolution over an hour or two. It’s officially fall weather here in NYC so thoughts are turning to southern France...

One of the best wines I have had so far in 2015.
If garrigue were a perfume spiked with red fruits, licorice, spice and exotic flowers it would be how this wine smells. The palate is perfect, if anything a little young as the tannins are a tad firm, but not intrusive. A long, clean finish, purity comes to mind. #faugeres #barral
