Chateau Fayat 2015

Frankly ripe, with plum and boysenberry compote flavors inlaid with an anise note, carried by some silky tannins and a flash of slightly woodsy vanilla on the finish. Best from 2019 through 2027. 2,917 cases made.

Fleshy dark fruit notes; full-bodied with a crisp acidity.

Aromas of ripe fruit with decadent meat and leather undertones. Full-bodied, with round, juicy tannins and a flavorful finish. Intense and flavorful. Better in 2020.

Medium-bodied, bright, fresh, red fruits, earth, espresso and plummy notes in a forward, easy-drinking style. 86 - 88 pts

Extremely dark purple with lilac and violet highlights. The bouquet shows a black pepper touch, with cassis and elderberry notes. On the palate, initially juicy then structured, with a certain spicy note within the ample extract, it feels somewhat extracted. However, it has the potential to withstand the fairly massive ordeal.
