Score 16/20 · Drink 2019-2028, Jancis Robinson MW, Jan 2016

Tasted blind. Barrel fermented, apparently. Spicy, mouth-filling, flattering and designed to please. Lifted nose. Sinewy with polished tannins but not green. (JR)

The 2012 Faugères is super-expressive today. Dark, silky and nicely layered in the glass, the 2012 offers up plenty of dark blue/purplish fruit, spice, licorice and floral notes, all in a mid-weight style that is ideal for drinking now and over the next decade or so.

This beautiful wine is consistently well-made and is again a star in 2012. Dense ruby/purple with notes of blackcurrants, blackberry and licorice, the wine is medium to full-bodied and displays moderate but ripe, integrated tannin and a judicious use of toasty oak. This beautifully textured, heady St.-Emilion should drink well for 10-15 years.
