2002 Château Figeac

Community Tasting Note

Likes this wine:

91 Points

Sunday, October 28, 2018 - Second and last bottle since 2015 (40€ per bottle in 2010), 3h decant. Made from 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Cabernet Franc, and 30% Merlot grapes.

Dark purple colour. Cherries and wood on the nose. On palate black cherries and currants, smoked oak, tobacco and leather; all quite dense and concentrated. Long finish.

Perfect drinking window right now in my opinion, which should stay open 5-7 years easily. Not sure if there will be any further improvement though. Liked it a bit better than in 2015.

Parker rated 88 points a few years back and this is one of the very few times my rating is higher than his.
