Château Figeac St Emilion Premier Grand Cru Classé 2016

Damson in colour and aromatics, this is reserved but not subdued at 6 years old, not yet ready to be drunk but showcasing already the ripe texture and layers of powerful blackcurrant pastille, blackberry and bilberry fruits. The minerality and salinity is striking also with touches of mandarin peel, cigar box, espresso, lemongrass even – pulses of fresher acidity that give poise and lift. Clearly exceptional, muscled and concentrated. 100% new oak.
