2000 Château Figeac

Community Tasting Note

96 Points

Monday, September 27, 2021 - The 2000 Figeac was sensational and by far the most exciting wine in a recent right bank tasting of 95/98/00/01. It was spikey and feral with a riveting green overlay an emerging tertiary complexity, and it had a terrific finish. Eric d’Aramon, who got his marching orders in 2012 after failing to secure an upgrade to Premier A status, was roundly criticised by some of the critics (no need to name them) for picking his 2000 too early; but he really nailed it. Drinking this makes me worry about my recent purchases of 2016 and 2019, which may have been Rollandised.
