«Made of 100% Merlot, the 2018 Péby Faugères is deep garnet-purple colored and comes bounding out of the glass with gregarious notes of blueberry pie, plum pudding, chocolate-covered cherries and mulberries with hints of eucalyptus, cinnamon stick, cloves and unsmoked cigars plus a waft of cedar chest. Full-bodied, taut and muscular, the palate has a rock-solid structure of firm, velvety tannins and wonderful freshness, finishing very long with loads of mineral sparks.»

Wow. Really savory this year with an extremely dense and gorgeous palate of ripe fruit and ripe tannins, but an underlying minerality and intensity. Shows really integrated and melted tannins, but then it kick-starts at the end. Neoclassical.

Pourpre violacé profond. Bouquet complexe, révélant des notes fruitées telles que cassis et mûres. Avec un peu d’air, le nez gagne en pluralité et en profondeur en révélant son terroir au travers de notes crayeuses, suivies d’effluves de griottes. L’élevage est également présent, de manière filigrane avec une agréable touche de caramel et de cannelle. Au palais, le vin est friand, compact, crémeux et doté de tannins aux grains fins qui assurent bien les arrières. Finale fruitée et persistante. Un vin élégant, qui allie parfaitement le charme, la race, la finesse et la puissance.

Inky damson in colour, this is a wine where you can feel the influence of the cooler terroir in terms of the bulkier tannins. They are not rustic but are certainly present, crawling across the palate. It's good quality - as are all the Denz wines in 2018, but there's no escaping the slightly distracting concentration, with a little too much marzipan oak on the finish.

Généreux et très massif, encore d’un bloc. Un style assumé qui privilégie la puissance.

Offers layers of dark fig, boysenberry and cassis fruit, with alluring black tea and anise notes. The long, smoldering finish is carried by a graphite edge. Dense, but with serious cut and detail. A classic in the making. Drink now. Score
