Details
Château Figeac--Vintage 1982
Saint-Emilion, 1er grand cru classé
Very slightly bin-soiled label. Level into neck. Very good appearance
Tasting Note: I could never accuse Thierry Manoncourt of making boring run-of-the-mill wine. Fourteen notes, more at dinners and luncheons than at tastings, which is as it should be. I enjoyed them all. The past three or four encounters incuding served with freshly pickled asparagus and smelly French cheeses dining at the château; naturally I did not complain (1998). Later that autumn drinking well at a Decanter magazine vintage dinner; in strange company at the restaurant Che, very distinctive, fully mature (1999). Most recently, effortlessly following Lafite '90 and '88 at another Bordeaux Club dinner at Caius, Cambridge. Sweet, rich, chewy, ready. Last tasted June 2000 **** Drink soon M.B.
