2012 Vintage. Dark fruits, garrigue, Faugeres funk, Bootsy Collins bass solo soul, earthy goodness. Fuh-schtinkin'. Plenty of tannins; hide in a dark, cool place for a couple years. Very good. Rebuy.

Very good Faugeres. Stinks a Little in The nose. Dark fruit, garrigues and some smoke, strong tannins, still juicy. Natural wine without added sulfur.
