...has density and immense structure balanced by stunning black fruits...
...offers a terrific perfume of crème de cassis, redcurrants, dried earth, tobacco, lead pencil, spring flowers, and exotic spice-driven nuances. Playing in the medium to full-bodied end of the spectrum, it's flawlessly balanced, has silky, polished tannins, and a stunning sense of purity.
...soars out of the glass with opening notes of freshly crushed red and black cherries, mulberries and ripe, juicy plums, followed by hints of violets, damp soil, cedar chest, crushed rocks and pencil shavings. The medium-bodied, elegantly styled palate features bags of freshness and exquisitely ripe, beautifully poised tannins to support the bright, energetic black and red fruit layers, finishing on a lingering fragrant earth note.
Quintessential Figeac on the nose, it offers blackberry, briar, pencil shavings courtesy of the Cabernet Sauvignon, and touch of terracotta. Beautifully defined... The palate is medium-bodied and has soaked up the 100% new oak... Elegant and refined, it gently fans out with pure, slightly tertiary black fruit and traces of clove and bay leaf... Divine.
Great minty coolness and focus for this vintage! So much vitality and drive... Very long and energetic finish with wonderful, herbal and mineral freshness.
Sleek and tightly focused, this is a racy style marked by a pure beam of cassis and cherry purée and infused with red tea, bergamot and bay hints. Very fresh and refined through the finish, with a long chalky thread lingering after everything else.
Light and fresh on the nose. Rich and vibrant. Long lasting and exciting. Really throbbing with life. Clean, silky and fresh.
