94-97 WINE SPECTATOR: "Still quite raw, with loads of apricot, ginger, green plum, date and papaya flavors that are not yet melded together. Shows ample toasted almond and honey notes on the finish, with terrific depth and power. Very long. There´s loads here, but this has a long way to go."
19 RENE GABRIEL: "Mitteldunkles Gelb, somit recht intensiv, leuchtender Rand. Ausladendes, reiches Bouquet, viel gelbe, reife Früchte, vor allem
Reineclauden, oben im Nasenbild verspielte Noten von Mandarinenblüten und Zitronenöl. Im Gaumen sehr elegant, voll auf tänzerische Länge
setzend, wirkt so erfrischend und macht schon als Fassprobe Lust auf einen Probeschluck um den langen Abgang auch richtig beschreiben zu können.
Das macht unendlich viel Spass!"
18,5 ***** DECANTER: "Great density and unctuous texture that is classic Fargues. Generous, full-bodied, with layers of flavours ranging from dried apricots to sweet honeysuckle and marmalade. Very long, layered and beautifully made."
93-95 PARKER: "The 2011 de Fargues has a delicate, perhaps slightly more malic bouquet than I was expecting. At present, it is a little more disjointed than its peers although I am sure it will become more cohesive throughout its maturation. The palate shows its true potential: medium-bodied with great tension on the spice-tinged entry. It is cohesive and mellifluous, although at present it does not have the depth or weight of a top flight de Fargues. However, it is precise and beautifully defined on the finish." |
