CRITIC REVIEWS
Neal Martin
The 2014 Figeac has a nose that is a cut above some of its peers, fresher and more vibrant, in for the long haul with raspberry and wild strawberry, autumn bonfire, pencil box and just a touch of meat juices. Lovely! The palate is medium-bodied with fine-boned tannins, focused and classic in style, with greater body and firmness on the finish than its peers. A wonderful melange of Left and Right Bank, which is what Figeac essentially is. Recommended. Tasted at Bordeaux Index's 10-Year-On tasting.

The 2014 Figeac builds on its promise from barrel and delivers a very fulfilling bouquet with red plum, crushed strawberry, cedar and light graphite aromas that I suspect will close down for a period after bottling. (The bottle tasted at the chateau displayed a subtle incense aroma.) The palate is very well defined with a crisp line of acidity, sorbet fresh in the mouth and fanning out towards its structured, tensile finish. It is a great Figeac, a superb forerunner to the brilliant 2015 and it should not be underestimated. Chapeau winemaker Frederic Faye and his team. Tasted twice (both in London and at the property) with consistent notes.

40% Merlot, 32% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Cabernet Franc. Another classic in style, similar in character to 2008. Still reticent and reserved aromatically but juicy and vibrant with lots of freshness. Round and full on the attack then linear and focused on the finish. Tannins present but refined. Plenty of energy and drive. In the greater scheme of things GV. Good for a few years yet. (JL)
