2005 Cap de Faugeres – Cotes de Castillion – Bordeaux

Deep red colored and an interesting red fruit aroma of strawberry laced with vanilla bean which I haven’t experienced in the Bordeaux wines I’ve had lately.

Earth, leather, and spice all come together after some air but the brighter fruit still remains upfront.


This wine is obviously young, being a 2005 and all and has the tannins to prove it.


It will age and soften for in a couple years. Now, its dry and soft with a long finish that really coats the mouth.


Very very good.


Purchased for $24 at Garnet Wines on the Upper East Side.
