James Suckling: 95 Points
"Very deep-set aromas of blackberries and red and dark plum fruits set amid integrated oak spices cedar and hints of earth. The palate has a super plush feel with intense flavors of blueberries and dark plums. Succulent tannins that are smooth entrancing and very long. Try from 2022."
Wine Enthusiast: 93-95 Points
"Smooth and opulent this is a densely tannic wine. Its dark fruits and dusty texture are backed by juicy acidity and a core of framing tannins. It will be powerful and rich with age."
Wine Spectator: 93 Points
"Beautiful aromas and flavors of warm fig and boysenberry reduction lead off with extra raspberry and cassis notes filling in behind them. Best from 2023 through 2035."

The 2015 Faugères is plush deep and inviting. Succulent red cherry plum tobacco cedar licorice and new leather are some of the many nuances that take shape and attractive floral notes add brightness and lift. This is a very pretty and alluring Saint-Émilion from Silvio Denz. The blend is 80% Merlot 15% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Tasted two times.
Wine Advocate: 92 Points
"The 2015 Faugeres is a blend of 80% Merlot 15% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon aged for 15 months in French oak 50% new. Medium to deep garnet-purple in color it has a nose of baked plums warm cherries and black berries with touches of meat and fried spices. The full-bodied mouth is rich opulent and spicy with firm velvety tannins and lovely freshness lifting the finish."
