93 Points

Monday, February 6, 2023 - Chateau Figeac - 35 year vertical tasted blind 1985-2019: The 2009 was shown next to the 2010. This is always interesting as with this vintage (like 1990/1989) it is never clear who will be taking the top spot. Tonight the 2010 (96pt) had the edge, showing much more fruit and stuffing on the palate. The 2009 strangely was marked by oak toast and felt quite meager on the palate for the generous vintage. Good tertiary aromas with farmyard. A pity that they were not able to do better in this stellar year. Early drinking window.
