  Very thick after a 3 hour decant, smoother, lighter and a little less interesting 90 minutes later.

  95 because of what it is today. As with other 100 pointers, I think other reviews are biased by the critic score. No doubt this may reach Parker s rate in a few years but not today. 2.5 hours decant and a glass set apart for one more hour of air, and that last glass still showing it is not at peak (remember in a glass the oxidization is quicker). Black berries, cocoa, spice, hints of hoisin. Tannins are resolved and very balanced, but the wine is still in an early phase, color shows almost no sign of the 17 years since vintage. I would open a new bottle in 4-5 years, I don’t think even a 4 hour decant would make for the time this still requires to reach its plateau. The question with this outstanding, once in ten years bottles from non elite chateaus is that one wonders, perhaps unfairly, if they will pass the test of time, even showing at 17 years that most likely they will …if this would be a bottle of valandraud one would take for granted that it should reach the 100 points at its peak. Nonetheless, Given the fact that you can get it for about usd 350 in the market and in 5 years it could deliver an experience akin to bottles of elite st emilion s that cost double or triple that price, it’s worth considering as a good buy

  Agree with others, this is more Napa than BDX, which is ok with me. Big and very thick, deep red fruits, tannins still a little obtrusive. Showing a few secondary notes, should be better in 5 years. Decanted for 2 hours, I’d decant longer if drinking now.

  Chateau Faugeres Peby 2005- what an amazing wine. Robert Parker rated this 100. I am not sure what a 100 wine is, but this is very close. Its the perfect expression of Merlot, beautifully balanced, not to panic not too soft, medium legs, complex bouquet, full body, long tail.
  mixed berrys, a bit of burnt chocolate- They say that this is a beef wine, but we had this with a very fresh sea trout almomdine, and it was perfect, almost a course in itself.
