*** With a wine as good as this, I think the winemakers insights provide something to the drinking experience in an afterthought. Similarly, my own notes above are more sparse, with this following description.
Winemaker Notes
With its pedigree style, Chateau Figeac epitomises the elegance of the great wines of Bordeaux. Its unique style gradually shows through and develops over time.
This great wine displays a distinctive rich nose that has wonderful aromatic complexity.
On the palate, the Cabernet Sauvignon reveals lovely floral aromas in the first year then, as the wine ages, great structure on the palate.
The Cabernet Franc brings lots of freshness in the tannins, and...
the Merlot contributes roundness and flesh.
The attack on the palate is clean, the texture is silky, and the complexity elegant.
The characteristic freshness of Figeac is underpinned by great length of flavor.
With its long aging potential, the wine goes on in time to reveal hints of forest floor, leather, cigar-box and licorice – always with its hallmark elegance.
PS- Drink the Rainbow!
