Tasting note: The Peby Faugeres comes from a sector of Faugeres of over 20 acres where the vines are 45 years of age on average. In 2009 the yields were only 18 hectoliters per hectare. This 100% Merlot cuvee was impressive from barrel but is even more remarkable from bottle. One of the superstars of the vintage, this dense, opaque purple wine displays notes of blueberry liqueur intermixed with graphite, pen ink, licorice, incense and white flowers. Deep and full-bodied, with a boatload of tannin and glycerin as well as incredible texture and length, this is a wine of first-growth quality from St.-Emilion that should be cellared for a good 7-8 years, and then drunk over the following 25-30. It finished at around 15% natural alcohol and there are about 1,000 cases of it. (98+pts RP, Wine Advocate)

Drink: 2019-2049

Tasting note: Showing an intense purple color with a quite complex, creamy, fine and fruity nose; this wine offers a subtle, mellow entry on the palate. It then develops very fruity, melting, fresh, velvety and aromatic, with coated and ripe tannins. Very good finish, both powerful and tasty. (90pts. Jean-Marc Quarin)

Tasting note: An incredible nose of reduced dark fruits, with blackberry, dark chocolate and loads of cherry. Full-bodied, with supervelvety tannins. Goes on and on. Racy and fast. Amazing. (96-99pts. JS, Wine Spectator)
