February 14, 2023 - I decided to drink this “last minute” so only had a 1 hr decant and it could have used 5-6 hrs. That said, this a a truly impressive powerhouse “Bordeaux” blend. Delicious red berries, earth and spice on the palate with warm tannins that don’t quit. This score is probably low and should rise as it ages. A superb wine.

July 30, 2022 - I have now had three of these bottles for the same year, with the same friends and we have all had the same conclusions.
This vintage seems to be very inconsistent.
It has ranged from almost undrinkable to pretty darn good.
This one is in the pretty darn good range. Multiple good aged WA wines drank tonight and this was Wine Of The Night. -

May 20, 2022 - Really lovely balance. Nice dark fruit, good acidity, well integrated smooth drinking, without any width of flab or jam.

December 31, 2021 - I normally enjoy Figgins but this is the newest vintage I have had. It had the odd flavor of what I normally taste in an inexpensive wine that I believe they do to age them quicker. Never would have thought a Figgins to have this. Drank this with two others and all of us had the same opinion.
