Description

Château Figeac 1975

St. Emilion, 1er Grand Cru Classé (B)

u. 2bn, labels soiled; Etiquettes sales


Last tasted from a magnum from the property, at 32 years old. Such a glorious, sweet aniseed nose. Cocoa powder. Then it turns to liqueur. Extraordinary finesse of tannins. Melts in the mouth. One of Bordeaux's greatest successes in this 'old style' vintage. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
