"Produced from 100% Merlot and matured for 18 months in 65% new and 35% one-year-old French oak barrels, the 2015 Peby Faugeres is medium to deep garnet-purple in color with a strikingly gorgeous nose of exotic spices, baked blackberries, plum preserves, cherry cordial and fragrant earth with smoked meats, lavender, licorice and tapenade hints. The boldly fruited, full-bodied palate features opulent, totally decadent spiced black and blue fruits with a very firm yet ripe structure and finishes with incredible depth and length. Stefan von Neipperg consults on the vineyard management here, while Michel Rolland focuses on harvest dates, winemaking, aging and the final blend – a big ""bravo"" to them both on this 2015!"
Anticipated maturity: 2021-2041
Powerful, dense and explosive, the 2015 Peby Faugeres is superb. Black cherry, mocha, tobacco, menthol and licorice are racy and voluptuous in the glass. Readers should expect a super-ripe, flamboyant wine loaded with personality. Peby Faugeres is 100% old-vine Merlot from the heart of Silvio Denz’s Saint-Emilion property. Done in an extravagant style, Peby is not especially subtle, but it is often arrestingly beautiful, as it is again in 2015.
Anticipated maturity: 2021-2035
Very dark. Meaty nose. Very sweet! And masses of oak and this is really in the old style! Quite painful to taste! Too much. A wine to be impressed by rather than to enjoy.
Anticipated maturity: 2021-2030
