Product Description
JD95 A beautiful wine that shines in the vintage, the 2008 Figeac offers a classic Figeac nose of tobacco, menthol, blackcurrants, and spice. This deep, rich, seamless 2008 has a great mid-palate, no hard edges, beautiful tannin, and a great finish.
DR95 The nose of the 2008 remains a bit closed at this stage, but coaxing reveals a rather complex aromatic profile composed of black fruits, spices, and graphite. The palate is more forthcoming with a quite velvety texture that balances an underlying powerful framework. The terroir expression of this racy Figeac seems to be remaining in the wings for the time being before it asserts its presence on stage in the years to come.
