2010 Chateau Figeac
Deep garnet colored, the 2010 Figeac bursts from the glass with gregarious scents of baked blueberries, black cherry compote and chocolate box with hints of camphor, pencil lead and iron ore. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has beautifully ripe, velvety tannins and bold freshness supporting the generous fruit, finishing long and layered. ~ (97) Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 3-5-2020
The 2010 Figeac has a deep hue. The nose is quite introverted at first, with dark berry, fruit, incense, touches of fig and mulberry. The palate is beautifully balanced with a fine bead of acidity, gorgeous pure fruit, mulberry and dark plum, gentle considering the vintage. This 2010 has softened in the last couple of years, gaining depth towards the finish. Very persistent - this is just beginning to show what it is capable of. Tasted at the vertical in Berlin. ~ (98) Neal Martin, Vinous 12-1-2021
Intense aromas of wet earth, leaves, sweet berries and cinnamon follow through to a full body, velvety and dense tannins and a long and flavorful finish. Opulent style. Just opening now, but this shows lots of stuffing, even if it does tighten down on the palate. Integrated and fine. Drink or hold. ~ (98) James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com 2-13-2017
Deep colour to the rim. Dense, powerful and brooding. Layers of fruit with a gentle, smoky fragrance. Magnificent palate, layered, concentrated but balanced. Powerful but refined tannins. Enormous length on the finish. Still so youthful (so decant if opened now). Clearly, for the very long haul. ~ (18) James Lawther, JancisRobinson.com 3-7-2022
Based on a normal mix of close to equal parts Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc, the 2010 is still youthful yet certainly offers pleasure today. Deep ruby/plum-hued with a classic Figeac nose of red and black currants, tobacco leaf, chocolate, and truffle, and it certainly seems more Médoc than Saint-Emilion. Beautifully balanced on the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, and has silky tannins, a terrific mix of both richness and freshness, and an overriding sense of elegance. It's a gorgeous Figeac just coming into its own, with another two decades of prime drinking ahead of it. ~ (96) Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com 11-8-2021
