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.

All bottles from Chateau.
Figeac 2016 - 95+
Beautiful nose of blueberries, cedar, and violets. After 30 mins in glass some green notes. Elegant, bright, and pure fruit with amazing acidity that gives a nice drive through mid and back palate with a very long aftertaste. Of course, this is early, but it shows great potential. This grew for every minute over the 1 hr I had it in glass and by the end it was very drinkable, although I would hold it for at least another 10 years.
Figeac 2015 - 93+
Just a little less of everything compared to the 2016, but a great wine. I'd say the 2015 is a little more extracted and blind I would've said it was from a warmer vintage than 16 without knowing if that is true or not.
Figeac 2010 - 91
Not decanted, which probably was not in its favor, and opened later than the younger bottles. At least 10 years from peak. Quite muted compared to 15 and 16 but some tertiary aromas of truffles and cigars showing. Tannins still have a real bite. I would guess this was just the wrong night for this bottle.
Figeac 2000 NR
I don't know, this was volatile and had a lot of pyrazine/very green notes. Others liked it though, so it was probably a bottle thing. Of course it had some mature bdx-charm but this is not what I'm looking for in an aged bottle.
Petit Figeac 2019 - 91
Attacking, blue/black fruits, plums, bell peppers, dry tannins, and some bitterness (from oak?) in the end. Not my preferred style, but quite straight-forward and drinking.

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

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

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.
