Chateau Cap de Faugeres 2019

- Notizen des Weinguts: ‘‘Das Bouquet ist fruchtig, mit schönen schwarzen Beeren und Wildfrüchten. Am Gaumen ist der Wein sehr weich, fruchtig und ausgewogen mit Noten von Cassis, schwarzen Beeren und Anklängen von Kardamom, Tonkabohne... ’’

- 94 Punkte Andreas Larsson, Tasted: „Intense floral and forward with a bouquet of flowers, wild berries, plum confiture and tobacco. Highly concentrated yet digest and fresh with powdery tannin, lush and savoury fruit with a very long lingering finish.“

- 92 Punkte VINOUS, Neal Martin: "The 2019 Cap de Faugères has tightened up a lot on the nose, showing dense black fruit, tar and graphite scents, quite Left Bank in style. The palate is much more expressive, featuring fleshy red berry fruit mixed with allspice, clove and white pepper. Persistent and quite convincing on the finish. Give it time for those aromatics to get their mojo back – which they will. 2027-2048“

- 91 Punkte DECANTER, Jane Anson: "Pumped up but nicely balanced by freshness, this is full of dark fruits and is an enjoyable Castillon, without doubt one of the best of the appellation. Silvio Denz-owned estate, where the natural austerity of Castillon soils works well with the exuberance of his winemaking style. Drinking Window 2023 – 2035"

- 91 Punkte JAMES SUCKLING: "Very pretty, smoky aromas with blackberries and cherries follow through to a medium body with integrated tannins and a fresh, clean finish. Hints of tar and lemon rind. Better at the end of 2022 and onwards."

- 91 Punkte VINOUS, Antonio Galloni: "The 2019 Cap de Faugères is terrific, just as it was from bottle. Rich and expansive, the 2019 is so expressive right out of the gate. Succulent red cherry, spice, leather and tobacco all kicked up in this attractive entry-level offering from Silvio Denz. 2022-2031.“

- 90 Punkte JEB DUNNUCK: "Another perennial overachiever, Château Cap de Faugères delivers a brilliant, pleasure-bent wine year-in, year out. Their 2019 offers a juicy, up-front, savory, already complex style as well as notes of red and black fruits, new leather, herbes de Provence, and dried flowers. Mouth-filling, nicely structured, and medium-bodied, give it a year or two to shed some tannins and enjoy through 2029. 2023-2029.“

- 89-91 Punkte Robert Parkers WINE ADVOCATE, Lisa Perrotti-Brown: "Opaque purple-black colored, the 2019 Cap de Faugères delivers intense scents of prunes, Black Forest cake and ripe, fresh blackberries with hints of Marmite toast, tapenade, damp soil and truffles. The full-bodied palate delivers mouth-coating black fruit preserves with a velvety texture and tons of freshness, finishing long and earthy."
