This Cabernet Sauvignon-dominated wine always stands out as a powerhouse of impressive tannins. In 2010, it is complex with a dense structure, tight mineral texture and dense wood.

94-96 Tannic, juicy, very rich, laced with intense acidity. Blackberry flavors dominate this super-rich wine. Cutting through the richness is a core of dryness, of dark structure. — R.V. (6/25/2011)

Château Figeac 2005 Red (Saint-Émilion)

The predominance of Cabernet Sauvignon in Figeac has won out in 2005. It shows in the delicious black currant fruits and very fresh, vibrant acidity.

92-94 Barrel sample. Very sweet new wood, caramel aromas that give the wine an initial softness. Then acidity and sweet blackberry flavors move in, suggesting that this will be a finely balanced wine once it is bottled. — R.V. (12/31/2009)
