St. Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend

What a beautiful wine! So velvety and generous. Highly recommended. #alltheroadsleadtoanagedbordeaux

Medium garnet, intense aromas of dried herbs, tobacco, dried strawberry, dried cherry, forest floor, farmyard and green bell pepper introduce the 2001 Château Figeac. Full-bodied, creamy textured and with rustic, ripe tannins, the palate belongs to a hedonistic, sexy beast of a wine built for a long life in bottle. Everything is in perfect balance. If spotted on a wine list at a decent price, I wouldn't hesitate. Drink now until 2035.

Nice and creamy. Tons of complexity. Lots of time left.

Great wine at any price!

Pure pleasure! Elegant, profound and well-balanced.

Very subtle, not your ordinary Bordeaux pallette, tasted older than its age

Amazing Bordeaux! Extremely subtle notes in this powerful beauty. We paired it with aged Manchego and it was delicious!

While it still appears young, it is already starting to show some of that aged Figeac charm. Bright red cherry, raspberry, herbs, damp earth, spices, and tobacco leaf create a charming array of complex aromas. Less power, more elegance with this wine, but perhaps not as nuanced and layered as some other right bank wines from 2001. Still, this is easy drinking and a great food wine. The tannins are a bit forward right now, but I guess this will hit its stride in a couple more years.

2001

An amazing wine we shared with dear friends! Memories from st Emilion!
