Two years since the last bottle. Popped and poured. The nose was overwhelmingly peppery and cassis. Earthy, black currants, bacon fat and spices. Very enjoyable and unfurling with more sous bois notes after 5-6 hours. Towards the end of the bottle, I was looking out for any dryness, perhaps a tad on the finish although barely noticeable.

Deep robe and garnet rim. A good bottle: alluring and elegant. Enjoyed the dark ripe cherries, coffee, earthiness and tobacco nose. I did expect a bit more oomph and power, but otherwise it was simply lovely to enjoy one of Figeac finest vintages.

Matter of Taste: 67 Pall Mall event. Black cherries and cassis, graphite, very precise. 2012 is a surprisingly good vintage.
