It may not have the immediate appeal of the legendary 2000 but we were all agreed that it is unquestionably a better wine

2010 Château Figeac, St Emilion, Bordeaux portugal​ most importantlyFollowing on from last years marvel, Figeac has done it again. It is almost impenetrable, a huge, brooding beast below the surface, with a dark red black colour and a viscosity that matches. Having said that, this does not take anything away from the wine; it is incredible! Super fine tannins and a sweet, silky, velvet like mouthfeel have amazing complexity and vibrancy that takes your breath away. It might even be better than 2009 if thats possible.
