This was youthful that is just beginning to enter its drinking window, silky, polished on the palate with hidden tannins showing dark fruits, plum, cassis, graphite, mocha, spice & tobacco — 16 hours ago

1947...mind boggling! This was still extremely enjoyable with lots of leather and tertiary notes...wow! — 5 days ago

Neus: Verleidelijke aroma’s van zwart fruit zoals cassis en zwarte kers, aangevuld met tonen van cederhout, sigarenkistje, en een vleugje chocolade.

@TheMillenRotterdam

Smaak: Vol en zijdezacht, met rijpe tannines die structuur en elegantie bieden. De smaken van pruim, truffel en kruiden zijn prachtig verweven met minerale accenten en subtiele houttonen.

Afdronk: Lang en gelaagd, met een aanhoudende frisheid en verfijnde tannines. — an hour ago

Christmas Eve dinner with ribeye steak. What a wine! Lovely aromatic of ripe blue fruit, crushed stone, leather baseball gloves. Almost black color. About as perfect a wine as I have had. Blue and black ripe fruit, softened edges but powerful tannins. Perfectly matched acidity. Structured brilliantly. Graphite, stone, hint of menthol, licorice. Nice medium + finish. Perfect wine yet still so youthful, many, many years left. Will wait a few years before opening another bottle. — 2 days ago

Picked up a 2012 at Wine House for $60 on 12/21/2024

One of the best wines I’ve tasted all year especially in the sub $100 price range

Smells like fertilizer and funk (in a good way) but tastes like blackberries and cherries with hints of soil — 14 hours ago

This was still youthful & needed some air showing cherry, red berry, spice, mocha with floral & tobacco notes. — 13 days ago

Glossy and beautiful. Luscious slick fruit with rounded dark cherry and hints of dried herbs. Amazingly textured and intense. Wow — 19 days ago

Opened and double-decanted several hours prior to service; enjoyed over the course of three hours. The 1998 pours a deep garnet color with a near opaque core; medium viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with beautiful, ripe red cherries and a total smoke show in the earth department, giving me an impression of iron-rich earth from an Alpine forest floor. Wonderful stuff. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose with the ferrous earth notes doubling down. The finish is long. I would like to have more Figeac in my life. Drink now after a whole heap of air or through 2068. — 10 days ago

Label was gone so you'll all just have to believe me that this was a Cheval blanc 🤣. Very far along with leather, mushroom and forest floor flavours. Great wine from a poor vintage — 5 days ago

Heady aromas of dark fruits and graphite. Tannins are developing nicely and soft enough after a 2 hour decent to drink easily. — a day ago
