Saturday, January 18, 2020 - What an enticing nose you’ll find in the 2016 Figeac - big, plush, polished, very deep, beautifully ripe blue and black fruited with a savory, leathery, tobacco profile. Wonderful class and Figeac character without any of the green or hardness of the 1970s-1980s. Vivacious, supple, and long on the palate. Lots of material but great balance. This finishes very well. This towers above many famous vintages, including the 1982 and 1990. Following the superb 2015, this confirms Figeac’s return to the greatness of the 1960s.
