The 2022 Château Cap De Faugères is charming, forward, and delicious, offering red and black fruits, spice, and a touch of graphite. Medium-bodied, it has obvious minerality and a beautifully balanced, approachable style. I like it today yet this outstanding Castillon will keep for 10-12 years with ease.
The 2022 Cap de Faugères has a sprightly, quite opulent bouquet with black cherries, blueberry and violet scents, cohering nicely in the glass with its well-integrated oak. The palate is medium-bodied and lightly spiced with sapid black fruit, fine delineation and a lovely saline finish. This is recommended.
Bright and vivid fruit with red berries, flowers and crushed stone. Medium body, fine tannins and a juicy finish. Salty at the end. Crunchy. 85% merlot, 10% cabernet franc and 5% cabernet sauvignon. So drinkable now, but will age nicely.
