Winery Review: 
The 2012 Mas du Colombel Faugeres is an incredible value. It has intense aromas of ripe red fruit and a rich mid palate with good length and soft tannins. It's made in a finesse-driven style that’s a joy to drink. In addition, it’s far from simple and has a layered profile of complex fruit, earth and spice.

My Review:
The nose is fruity. A lot of blackberries, currants, and black fruit in general are present. The taste was much of the same fruit. The mild tannins in this wine are what made it though. It has a pleasant mouth feel and nice taste on the palate. The tannins provide just enough acidity to make this a well-rounded wine. The finish was medium-long and comes with a complexity. It was big on the fruit which I enjoyed. It was a delicious wine.
