Tasting Notes
Alluring, with steeped plum and boysenberry confiture notes that are rich and lush in feel, yet stay bright through the finish, presenting a light brambly underpinning and suave spice and toast details. Gorgeous fruit. Mar 2016, James Molesworth, www.WineSpectator.com

The best Peby I have ever tasted. The purity of fruit and density is fantastic yet it remains bright and floating. It’s full yet agile. Perfect tannins. Pure Merlot magic. Mar 2016, www.JamesSuckling.com
Very dark. Meaty nose. Very sweet! And masses of oak and this is really in the old style! Quite painful to taste! Too much. A wine to be impressed by rather than to enjoy. Apr 2016, www.JancisRobinson.com, Drink: 2021-2030
An extravagant, flamboyant wine, Silvio Denz's 2015 Péby Faugères hits all the right notes. A rich concoction of black cherry, plum, new leather, mocha and sweet tobacco nearly covers the wine's huge tannins, but there is plenty of structure underneath. The wine's unbridled explosive energy is impossible to miss. This is a spectacularly rich, visceral wine from Silvio Denz and winemaker Michel Rolland. Even with all of its intensity and decidedly modern personality, the 2015 is going to need the better part of the next decade to start showing all it's got. Péby Faugères is 100% old-vine Merlot from the heart of Denz's Saint-Émilion property. Tasted two times. Apr 2016, www.Vinous.com
