  • 97p

Dark purple colour with violet hue and almost black core. Classic nose with expressive fruit, blackberries, hints of vanilla, mild spices and a whiff of chocolate, hints of blackcurrant spurs. On the palate well structured in a very elegant, consistent and persistent style. A wine with excellent tension and depth.

Good looking normal size bottle and in an perfect condition. Colour is purple, and looking clear and youthful. On the nose it is youthful, complex and fresh. The taste is fresh,voluptuous, fruity, elegant, and dry, warming, with medium tannin, and average in acidity, with well-structured structure and developing. On the palate it is layered and has balsamic, earthy, floral, plum and cranberry flavours. The finish is endless. This wine is masterpiece. Perfectly stored bottles are still very worthy and will last well for another 20-30 years and decant at least 30 min before tasting. Appreciable from his youth, Figeac reveals its complexity over time, offers a rich palette of sensations and always provokes great emotions. Possibly one of the best Bordeaux wines of the 2021 vintage.
