James Suckling 91-92pt

A medium-bodied red with plum and berry. Soft and refined with nice, ripe and creamy tannins. Very polished.

by James Suckling, 2021
Decanter 90pt

Austere kicks to the tannins but it is enjoyable, with plum and sage flavours that come in waves through the palate. Pretty subdued overall but enjoyable.

Jeb Dunnuck 91-93pt

Always a smoking wine (as well as a hard to beat value), the 2020 Chateau Cap De Faugeres boasts a deep purple hue as well as lots of cassis and blueberry fruits interwoven with notes of violets, white flowers, and chocolatey oak. Drink this medium to full-bodied, plush, sexy, fruit-loaded rock star of a Castillon over the coming decade.
