Description
By Robert Parker in 2009 (RP92-94)
This has quite an elegant nose, quite minerally, pert black fruits, griottes, boysenberry. Less masculine than usual. The palate is well structured with robust tannins, fresh and lively with blackberry, boysenberry and blueberry with a touch of cedar towards the finish. Grippy, good depth and length. As usual, more austere than other Saint Emilions because of the Cabernet, but great length. A wine with stature. Tasted April 2009

Blueish purple. Vivid colour. Spicy, rather overripe notes. Sweet start and then a bit of green. Not really very comfortable. Awkward and rhubarby on the finish. A rather forced lightweight? Very embryonic indeed at this stage – but then Figeac may keep on surprising us over the long term?
