Chateau Cap de Faugeres Castillon, Cotes de Bordeaux, France 2016 Chateau Peyrabon This smells like apricot tarte

This smells like apricot tarte tatin with notes of toasted nuts and caramelized bananas

reminiscent of a tour through a Tellicherry peppercorn factory

with a history of winegrowing that dates back to the Romans

with hints of flowers and yellow fruits

Dense palate with sweetish nuances and a strong tactile-mineral base

Chateau Cap de Faugeres Castillon, Cotes de Bordeaux, France 2016 Chateau Peyrabon This smells like apricot tarteAn 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
