JAMES SUCKLING: "A ripe, rich red that delivers loads of crushed-berry, chocolate and walnut character, as well as fine tannins through the center palate. Layered texture."

ROBERT PARKER - THE WINE ADVOCATE: "Deep purple-black colored, the 2020 Faugères stampedes out of the glass with a herd of powerful black fruit notes: blackberry pie, baked black plums and ripe, juicy black cherries, plus hints of wild mushrooms, damp soil, tar and star anise with a waft of tobacco. The full-bodied palate is chock-full of black fruit preserves, framed by ripe, rounded tannins and oodles of freshness, finishing long and earthy." - Lisa Perrotti-Brown

FALSTAFF: "Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarter Ockerrand. Fruchtig, reife Pflaumen, frische schwarze Kirschen, etwas Nougat, einladendes Bukett. Saftig, süße Waldbeerfrucht, frisch strukturiert, präsente Tannine, mineralisch im Abgang, zitronig-salzig im Rückgeschmack, gutes Entwicklungspotenzial." - Peter Moser
