Big and dense, the Figeac is concentrated and chewy with plenty of full, ripe middle fruit that is balanced with some firm but ripe tannins. Here is a wine of great purity. As good as their 1982? Should age well. 92-94 points from Parker… ‘Undeniably the finest Figeac since the great 1990, this estate appears finally to be living up to the responsibilities of its splendid terroir… Boasts tobacco-tinged black currant fruit intertwined with Asian spices, new oak, and earth, fabulous purity, medium to full body, gorgeous freshness, and a log concentrated classy style. A wine of grace, purity, harmony, and complexity, it is a sensational Figeac. Anticipated maturity: 2002-2020 (April-2001)’ Also received 92-94 points from the Wine Spectator… ‘Interesting, decadent character. Intense aromas of dried herbs and chocolate, with cooked plum. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a medium finish.’ NOTE - This is a pre-arrival (futures) item.
