Château Cap de Faugères--Vintage 2000
Côtes de Castillon
Tasting Note: A winner, the dark plum/ruby/purple-coloured 2000 exhibits aromas of smoke, herbs, black fruits, liquorice, and vanilla. Medium to full-bodied, expansive, and layered, it is a candidate for 10-12 years of evolution. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 146, April 2003.
