Chateau Fayat - Pomerol 2011

Wine Spectator

88 / 100

The layers of raspberry coulis and crushed boysenberry fruit are studded with red licorice, carrying through the spice-tinged finish. A lingering hint of plum skin keeps this ever so slightly taut, graced with solid fruit. Best from 2015 through 2020

Remarqué l'an passé, ce cru (formé en 2009 par la réunion de trois propriétés) accède à notre sélection pour la première fois. Ici, on sait manier la cuve (30%) et la barriques (70%).

Du fruit, floral, une allonge fine. Brillante définition, bel équilibre.

Tasted en primeur at the Pomerol Syndicate. The Fayat 2011 has a ripe, blackberry and dark plum scented bouquet that is plush and rounded. The palate is sweet and nicely poised on the entry. It lacks a little cohesion and character and the finish tapers away, yet it retains decent balance despite a touch of volatility on the finish. Tasted April 2012.

Quite lively, with damson plum and cherry pit notes and a flash of bergamot. Modest toast frames the finish.—J.M.

A little lean but some very good ripe fruit with earthy finish.
