  "85 % Merlot, 10 % Cabernet Franc, 5 % Cabernet Sauvignon. 35 hl/ha, Produktion 120'000 Flaschen. Dichtes Purpurgranat mit violettem Rand. Warmes Waldbeerenbouquet, dahinter Holundersaft, duftige Veilchen und Lakritze. Am Gaumen mit seidiger Textur und süssem Extrakt und perfekt stützender Frische. Im aromatischen Finale mit einem vollen Korb von blauen Beeren, Heidelbeergelee und parfümierter Pfeifentabak, ein Best Buy aus Castillon."

  "This has a gorgeous violet edging to the colour with clear oak influence, veering to smoky and working well. There is a clear tightening through the mid palate, as you would expect from the limestone soils, but it will soften over ageing and they have captured plenty of juice running through the blueberry and blackberry fruits. The Denz estates in general have been successful in 2018. Drinking Window 2023 - 2032"

  "Fresh and juicy, the wine pops with all its ripe, plums, cherries, licorice, coffee bean, cocoa and spice. Lush, opulent and packed with sweet, red and dark red berries, this is good now, but a few more years in the cellar will make it even better. The wine was made from a blend of 85% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon."

  "Fresh blueberries, crushed brambleberries and licorice on the nose with a touch of cocoa powder. It’s medium-to full-bodied with firm, creamy tannins and fresh acidity. Succulent finish. Try from 2022."

  "A blend of 85% Merlot and the balance Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, from the cooler Castillon region to the east of Saint-Emilion, the 2018 Château Cap De Faugères reveals a healthy ruby/purple hue as well as lots of pretty red and blue fruits, notes of candied orange, tobacco, and violets, no hard edges, silky tannins, and both beautiful balance and purity. It's a terrific Castillon to enjoy over the coming decade or so."
