I was gonna share this bottle with friends over dinner, but after 3 hours in a decanter, it was still very tight and numb that i had to put it back to the fridge instead of serving it. The next day i gave it another 2 hours of air and it came out like a bomb! A lot of inconvenience, yet surprises at the end. It reminded me of Durfort Vivens 18, a first class wine in perfect balance and finishing. Could age for years but i wouldnt wait to experience this classy wine.

quite amazed with this second wine of Figeac, that after all these years can maintain such balance and finesse, with primary secondary and tertiary notes. alcohol 13%. PnP, great QPR at US60 a bottle. don't miss it, drink now. 50CS 30CF 20ML, per info from Figeac.

2018 Château Petit-Figeac

39% merlot 16% cab franc 45% cab sav. took a sip every hour after decanting and 4 hrs were optimal for it to open up nicely and balanced, with freshness, smooth tannins and savory finishing. it did have a bit of the figeac character, yet i would easily be mistaken that it was a grand vin from medoc. the duration of airing made a big difference. so take your time.
