Avis d'expert

90 / 100

Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate

(Ed 1998)
This wine has been fully mature for at least a decade, but it continues to exhibit an herb-, mineral-, and plum-scented bouquet, with ripe, lush, expansive flavors that appear to have put on a bit of weight and intensity since the mid-1980s. The tannins have completely melted away, and the overall impression is one of a round, generously endowed, silky-textured wine. I would opt for drinking it over the next 3-5 years, but I have been wrong so many times in the past about the aging potential of Figeac, this wine may last longer.

Wine Spectator

Medium garnet; ripe, cedary cassis nose; rich, generous cassis flavor; very concentrated, full, ripe and long.

An amalgam of conflicts, delicacy and rip-roaring fruit, vigorous, ripe tannins.An excellent 1970
