The 2022 Cap de Faugères has a sweet, quite candied bouquet with dark cherries and violet scents, perhaps just missing a degree of delineation. It does improve in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly coarse tannins. Tea leaves infuse the black fruit with an off-dry, more classically-styled finish. Appreciating the freshness here.
