2006 Cap de Faugeres

Soft, round, and fruity, with moderate concentration as well as light tannin in the finish, this is not among Cap de Faugeres’ top efforts over recent years. Drink it over the next 3-4 years.

Tarry nose and very deep purple colour. Rather raw, green fruit juice hits the palate – awfully green! Very difficult to see much pleasure here. (JR)

Ruby-red. Liqueur-like black raspberry, minerals, violet and licorice on the nose. Dense, sweet black cherry fruit offers lovely middle-palate pliancy for the vintage. Turns a bit more aggressive on the back, finishing with chewy, building tannins that will require refining during elevage
