December 22, 2023 - The only "complaint" being it is understandably a tad bit closed right now. With time to open it showed its fantastic potential, round and soft tannins with elegance. Beautiful finish, just a joy to drink.

November 21, 2023 - Rich, generous, broad, sexy, a charmer, even at this young age. Chocolate, tobacco, ripe black berries. 95+ point

May 17, 2023 - Somewhat closed coffee nose, cedar and chocolate palate, clipped finish, you can see the potential but this needs years (94?)

May 16, 2023 - Chateau Figeac masterclass: Five decades of a St-Emilion stalwart, from 1966 tp 2016 (67 Pall Mall London): Very fine tannins, great structure. Nice acidity. Telltale Figeac elegance. Red fruit profile; raspberry flavors. Complexity and traditional Merlot barnyard notes buried further in the background. Will be a very long-lived wine.
