This has an incredible finish to it and shows such energy and intensity. Full-bodied yet vivid and energetic. Chewy tannins. Goes on for minutes. Merlot magic. - March

Vivid, with racy acidity from the start that allows the copious raspberry and plum confiture flavors to pump along with energy. Very enticing spice treatment on the finish. Has a lavish edge, but its energy offsets that nicely. - James Molesworth (WineSpectator.com, April 2017)

Silvio Denz's flagship Peby Faugères (100% Merlot) is a sumptuous wine, with no hard edges and solid balance. There is good depth to the red-toned fruit, espresso, mocha and spice flavors, but I don't see the density or explosive power of the best vintages. Like all of Denz's 2016s at this stage, Peby Faugères is good, but not particularly expressive. Jean-Philippe Fort is the consultant. Tasted two times. - vinous.com, April 2017
