Details
Château Figeac 2005
Saint-Emilion, 1er grand cru classé
In new, wooden Château case. New labels
Tasting note: Tasted from magnum in November 2016, this has dark purple-garnet colour. Nose shows red berry fruitiness, which is both powerful and fresh. Palate has impressive, concentrated fruitiness, with plump middle and robust tannins, needing time to soften. A great wine for those with the patience to age it at least another 3-5 years – and will last for decades. A.H.
3 magnums per lot
