Château Figeac--Vintage 1995
Saint-Emilion, 1er grand cru classé
In original wooden case
Tasting Note: First noted in September 1998 dining in style at the château with Mark Birley, the Lloyd-Webbers, the Palumbos, and Olga and Dieter Bock. The '95 was the first of four delicious vintages to be served: stylish though youthful and drinking well. Next, in October 1999, at a tasting of '95s and '90s for France in Your Glass guests at Vonnas, the tiny French village which is totally dominated by Georges Blanc's luxurious eating-hole. The Figeac typically fragrant, touch of raspberry (ripe Cabernet Franc?), well evolved and more dramatic than the '90. Sweet, fleshy, 13 alcohol. More recently at the MW tasting, a nice uplift of crisp fruit but still tannic, Last noted Nov 1999 ***(*) 2006 - 2016 M.B.
