Château de Fargues (Lur Saluces)
 Vintage 2001
Beautiful brilliant straw yellow robe. Intense and complex nose: immediate dominance of ripe fruits, apricot jam and vanilla. Then come notes of honey, dried apricots, almond, citrus zest and the signature “Fargues” mineral freshness. The mouth is immediately round and full, perfectly opulent and elegant, never becoming heavy. The acidity balances the liqueur and the fat, even enhancing the wine’s opulence. Length becomes endless. Everything and more is present! Heralded by the nose, the complexity of flavours is remarkable. A lot of fruit: candied fruit, candied peel, roasted notes fill the mouth with just enough touches of fresh lemon and spice. This vintage is a perfect synthesis of complexity (1997), intensity (1990 or 1989), sophistication and elegance (1988) found in Château de Fargues wines. A wine with great aging potential.
