Powerful and rich, this has plenty of years to go. Leather and herbs notes with muscular dark fruits. Earthy notes. Good acidity on the palate with still plenty of tannins and a fresh finish. Dark coffee notes in the palate as well. Very Faugeres in character. Loved it even if it could be a little more complex.

At Galvin at Windows: Sauvage! Dark ruby; high cherry, raspberry, garrigue and brooding dark meaty fruit on the nose - a changing developing nose in the glass if ever there was! Full bodied on the palate with a good arc of acidity and initially soft grape tannins turning a little more astringent in time. Good balance. Big sediment.
