Verkostungsnotizen
Vinous 91
The 2020 Peby-Faugeres is ripe and plush on the nose of macerated black cherries, creme de cassis and violet scents; there s a lot of new oak present, although it seems in sync with the fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent ripe black fruit, sweet morello cherries and a dash of black pepper. Plush and quite decadent on the finish, in keeping with its style. I will be the contrarian as ever and not for the first time, pin my colors to the mast of the 2020 Faugeres as my pick over Peby-Faugeres, though hedonists will think otherwise.

The 2020 Peby Faugeres sports a deep purple-black color and pronounced notes of blueberry preserves, plum pudding and Christmas cake, followed by hints of licorice, Indian spices and sandalwood with a waft of wild mushrooms. The full-bodied palate is jam-packed with concentrated black fruit preserves, framed by super firm, ripe, grainy tannins and tons of freshness, finishing very long and spicy. This wine has all the volume nobs turned to maximuma and it works! Definitely one for the hedonists, though.
