Château Figeac 2010

Description

The 2010 Figeac has a deep hue. The nose is quite introverted at first, with dark berry fruit, incense, touches of fig and mulberry. The palate is beautifully balanced with a fine bead of acidity, gorgeous pure fruit, mulberry and dark plum, gentle considering the vintage. This 2010 has softened in the last couple of years, gaining depth towards the finish. Very persistent – this is just beginning to show what it is capable of. Tasted at the vertical in Berlin. Drinking window: 2023-2050. Score – 98. (Neal Martin, vinous.com, Dec. 7, 2021)
