Figeac 2007

The 2007 Figeac shows the estate's characteristic restraint, though perhaps taken too far in this vintage. Tobacco, autumn leaves and earthy minerality dominate the aromatics, while the fruit remains frustratingly muted. The palate offers more generosity than the nose suggests, with peppery spice and decent length, but the finish turns rigid and lacks the finesse expected from this address. A wine caught between elegance and austerity.
