Chateau Cap de Faugeres Castillon, Cotes de Bordeaux, France 2018 Hervias very smooth

very smooth

Aromas of spice and blackberry meld with a touch of game on the nose

I love the quality of the brambled blackberry and loganberry fruit here

Fantastic structure for the vintage

This could easily be enjoyed now but I would be inclined to hold it for at least another 2 to 3 years first

Chateau Cap de Faugeres Castillon, Cotes de Bordeaux, France 2018 Hervias very smoothThis has a gorgeous violet edging to the colour with clear oak influence, veering to smoky and working well. There is a clear tightening through the mid palate, as you would expect from the limestone soils, but it will soften over ageing and they have captured plenty of juice running through the blueberry and blackberry fruits. 92 Pts Decanter
