Aristocratic and refined, the 2018 Figeac displays remarkable energy beneath its restrained exterior. Dark cherry and plum meld with mocha, rose petal and exotic spice in a wine of compelling complexity. The structure is vertical and precise, with fine tannins providing backbone without weight. This is Figeac at its most cerebral—not immediately charming but undeniably profound. Drink 2026-2042.
