This is a very linear and driven Figeac with smooth and fine tannins. Full-bodied, yet compact and reserved. Blackberry, chocolate and hazelnut flavors. Direct and structured. A blend of 38 per cent cabernet sauvignon, 36 per cent merlot, and 26 per cent cabernet franc. Better after 2024.

Deep colour. Intense dark plum, crème de cassis aromas with touches of strawberry
and ginger crackle. Pure, fresh, buoyant and beautifully proportioned palate with
sweet saturated blackcurrant pastille, dark plum flavours, integrated savoury oak and
superb plentiful fine graphite tannins. Finishes brambly and long with lovely mineral
persistency. Beautiful vinosity and flavour length. Fabulous Figeac. Best in 20 years.
