Chateau Cap de Faugeres Castillon, Cotes de Bordeaux, France 2016 Chateau Peyrabon as well as a freshness

as well as a freshness of fruit and tannins to close it out in style

reminiscent of a tour through a Tellicherry peppercorn factory

with some funk and wild red berries

with a history of winegrowing that dates back to the Romans

Chateau Cap de Faugeres Castillon, Cotes de Bordeaux, France 2016 Chateau Peyrabon as well as a freshnessAn estate that has gone long on extraction in the past, but I'm really enjoying what they have done this year. This is big but very pretty, held back under tension, showing juicy black cherry and touches of chocolate. The soft, chalky tannins are very well placed; you can almost brush through them. This wine impressed me over several tastings. 91 Pts Decanter
