CHATEAU FIGEAC 1995 |

Château Figeac 1995 St. Emilion, 1er Grand Cru Classé (B)A stellar Figeac to celebrate the 50th harvest of the late, great owner Thierry Manoncourt. At 15 years old, an unbelievably dense crimson colour and a huge bouquet that is almost oaky, almost 2000. On the palate, it is so rich and concentrated, in spite of a good yield. So meaty, lusciously fruity and opulent. A real giant, what the French would call 'charnu', with a smoked meat and pepper finish. Serena Sutcliffe, MW WA 901 bt (cn)Estimates are per lot
