A perfect wine in this vintage, the 2005 Péby Faugères has the classic liqueur of blueberries and spring flowers. Dense purple and full-bodied, with unbelievable richness, this tastes like a great Napa Cab from the Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard, even though there’s no Cabernet Sauvignon in it. This is a sensational wine – rich, full and multi-dimensional, with a skyscraper-like mid-palate and finish. Kudos to Péby Faugères for producing one of the perfect wines of the vintage. Drink it in about 3-4 years as well as over the following two decades. - Robert M. Parker, Jr.

Just coming out of its shell, the wine still shows a youthful, deep, dark color. The debut vintage for the new owner screams with its licorice, truffle, smoke and chocolate drenched black and blue fruit. The wine is dense, yet, fresh and balanced. There is length, complexity and a hedonistic, opulent texture in the finish. This should be great over the next 20 years or so. 1 hour in the decanted added a lot to the wine.97 Read more at:https://www.thewinecellarinsider.com/wine-tasting-note/?vintage=2005&wine=Chateau%20Peby%20Faugeres

Elegantly integrated tannins, lush density of fruit, plums and berries, with a minty freshness, that has developed complex notes of undergrowth and worn leather. This is an impressive wine, and shows the long life of wines from this estate.

Black in color with a very extracted nose of new wood blackberry and sweet tobacco. Full-bodied with raisin spice and coffee bean character. A full-throttle style. This is a big juicy Merlot. Best after 2014. 915 cases made. –JS
