Bordeaux | 14 | 96 (VN (AG)) | HK$1,225.00 | |||||
Vinous - Antonio Galloni (96)The 2018 Faugères is fabulous. Silky and nuanced, the 2018 is striking right out of the gate. As I noted previously, the 2018 marks a transition to a more finessed style that is hugely appealing. There is plenty of the richness Faugères fans expect, but, at the same time, the wine is so well balanced and harmonious. Hints of rose petal, lavender, spice and dark fruits linger on the memorable close. The 2018 is an undeniably sexy wine. |

Bordeaux | 20 | 95-96 (JS) | HK$3,260.00 | |||||
James Suckling (95-96)Very tight and finely tannined with a compact palate and loads of blue-fruit and blackberry character. It’s full-bodied, but muscular and focused, to pull it into form. |

Bordeaux | 37 | 90 (VN (AG)) | HK$3,210.00 | |||||
Vinous - Antonio Galloni (90)The 2016 Faurie de Souchard is plump, racy and forward, all of which make it easy to taste and enjoy, even on the young side. Raspberry jam, mocha and sweet spice are all pushed forward in a creamy, voluptuous Saint-Émilion that is quite expressive today. The 2016 could benefit from a bit more time to help the oak integrate, but that is a relatively small critique. Tasted two times. |

Intricacies of viniculture are magnificently portrayed through the Fayat 2011. Cultivated in its namesake Chateau Fayat vineyard in Pomerol on Bordeaux's Right Bank, this blend exemplifies exceptional viticulture and craftsmanship. The fortuitous 2011 vintage delivered condition perfect for Bordeaux’s typical Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon blend. Fayat 2011 matured under meticulously controlled conditions, aged in French oak barrels for eighteen months to infuse it with quintessential flairs. Characterised by an exquisite bouquet of dark fruits and spices, followed by silky tannins and a lingering finish, this wine is emblematic of Pomerol's renowned elegance and depth. Representing the inheritance of three generations, the Fayat family stays faithful to tradition while embracing innovative winemaking techniques. Their commitment to perfection is reflected in each bottle of Fayat 2011. Guided by their philosophy, the family augments the reputation of the historic Pomerol region with bottles that enchant aficionados worldwide. |

Bordeaux | 18 | 86 (VN (AG)) | HK$2,395.00 | |||||
Vinous - Antonio Galloni (86)The 2012 Fayat offers good immediacy, but lacks complexity and depth. I would prefer to drink the 2012 over the next few years, while the flavors remain bold and juicy, as there isn't much material here to allow for aging. |

Bordeaux | 10 | 85-87 (WA) | HK$1,870.00 | |||||
Wine Advocate (85-87)Notes of tobacco leaf, roasted herbs, red and black currants are found in this medium-bodied, straightforward 2012. Drink it over the next 5-6 years. |

Bordeaux | 1 | 88-90 (VN (NM)) | HK$1,405.00 | |||||
Vinous - Neal Martin (88-90)The 2020 Ferran has a crisp, pure bouquet of black cherries, bilberry, black olive and subtle marine scents unfolding with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp tannins, fine acidity, modest depth and quite a structured, dark-chocolate-tinged finish. Not a long-term prospect, perhaps, but nicely proportioned. |

Bordeaux | 20 | 87-89 (WA) | HK$965.00 | |||||
Wine Advocate (87-89)This straw-colored 2012 exhibits notes of figs, citrus oil, grapefruit and wet grass. Drink this intriguing, Sauvignon-dominated, dry white over the next 7-10 years. |

Bordeaux | 2 | 88 (WA) | HK$5,000.00 | |||||
Wine Advocate (88)I have written before about this little treasure in St.-Emilion which has a whopping 7.25 acres of vineyards. Eight sparkling stainless steel tanks seem more than adequate to handle the small production of this property that is as well-run as a Medoc first-growth. For example, extensive crop thinning and leaf pulling are practiced at Ferrand-Lartigue, and much like the famed Petrus, no grape is harvested before 11:00 am for fear of dilution because of morning mist on the grapes. This elegant, complex wine offers a dark ruby/purple color, as well as sweet, toasty, smoky aromas coupled with ripe blackcurrant and cherry fruit. Medium-bodied, with excellent purity and ripeness, this stylish, silky-textured wine can be drunk now and over the next 5-7 years. |

Bordeaux | 1 | 93 (JS) | HK$8,305.00 | |||||
James Suckling (93)Perfumed, with raspberries and flowers and hints of lemon. Full body, with ultra-fine tannins and a chewy finish. Austere now, but stylish. Best after 2018. |

Bordeaux | 10 | 94 (VN (AG)) | HK$1,165.00 | |||||
Vinous - Antonio Galloni (94)The 2015 Ferrière is terrific. Black cherry, plum, lavender and spice give the 2015 its super distinctive dark profile. Juicy and generous on the palate, the 2015 has developed into a very nice Margaux that plays on the darker end of the fruit spectrum. The 2015 is dense and powerful, but also impeccably balanced. |

Wine Enthusiast (94)From a vineyard that is now biodynamic, the wine has gained an extra dimension of fruit. At the same time, the tannins give the wine density that will stand it in good stead as it ages. This is for the long term. |
