CHATEAU FIGEAC 1970 |

Château Figeac 1970 St. Emilion, 1er Grand Cru Classé (B)u. 4bn, 6vts, 1ts, bin-soiled and partially torn labels, 3 of which loosely adhered labels, soiled and slightly torn capsules, 1 raised cork, 4 slightly sunken corks, 3 slight signs of seepageLast tasted from a magnum from the property, at 37 years old. Great immediate fruit on the nose. Huge fruity impact. So fruity and fresh overall. A real aftertaste of redcurrants. Very meaty/leather flavours, a mite reminiscent of Cheval Blanc in that respect. Still very 'présent', in spite of this vintage's high yield. Serena Sutcliffe, MW11 bts (sc)Estimates are per lot
