This smells like apricot tarte tatin with notes of toasted nuts and caramelized bananas

and allow the grapes to ripen while maintaining sharp acidity

reminiscent of a tour through a Tellicherry peppercorn factory

Chateau Cap de Faugeres Castillon, Cotes de Bordeaux, France 2016 Chateau Peyrabon and drank in its virtuesAn estate that has gone long on extraction in the past, but I'm really enjoying what they have done this year. This is big but very pretty, held back under tension, showing juicy black cherry and touches of chocolate. The soft, chalky tannins are very well placed; you can almost brush through them. This wine impressed me over several tastings. 91 Pts Decanter
