1982 Château Figeac

Tasted at “A Winemaker’s Cellar” auction held by Zachy’s at Manhatta restaurant NYC - Friday 10th November 2023.
From imperial opened from Mr Hut’s collection and kindly shared.
Whereas the ‘55 Lafite and ‘82 Margaux were otherworldly, the Figeac was as if you combined 10,000 textbook mature Bordeaux wines into one perfectly archetypal bottle - this would be it - and I mean that as a compliment. It was the very definition of beautiful Bordeaux and not a hair was out of place. Beautiful.

From 750ml bottle opened from Mr Hut’s collection and kindly shared.
What can one say? This was a regal wine that seemed completely at ease with itself - it was, of course, classic old Bordeaux but a simply fantastic lingering finish with sweet and complex undertones - my pitiful description does this beautiful old bottle no justice. Bravo.

This wine was transfixing - a chameleon in the glass that was ever changing but always delicious - every smell and taste offered a new angle, a new perspective. Obviously this was a simply stunning wine and was a privilege to experience.
