Medium-bodied, round, lush and forward, with a dusty-textured, chocolate and plum core of ripe, sweet fruits, polished tannins and a touch of spicy, espresso in the finish. Drink from 2023-2035.
Always a smoking wine (as well as a hard to beat value), the 2020 Château Cap De Faugères boasts a deep purple hue as well as lots of cassis and blueberry fruits interwoven with notes of violets, white flowers, and chocolatey oak. Drink this medium to full-bodied, plush, sexy, fruit-loaded rock star of a Castillon over the coming decade.
The 2020 Cap de Faugères is loaded with inky red fruit, dried herb, rose petal, mint and sage notes. There is good depth, even if some vegetal notes lurk beneath.
