Price: $40-$50
AOC: Premier Grand Cru Classe B, Saint-Emilion, Bordeaux
Varietal: 48% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc
Second wine of Chateau Figeac
Color: Dark Ruby, a little amber at rim
Aroma: Matured right bank! some perfume, focused sweet red fruit, a little flower
Palate: concentrated red fruit, cedar wood, tobacco, a little perfume, very fine and a little astringent tannin adds structure and suggests the wine will improve if given more cellaring time. Proper acidity, savory, intoxicating and powerful, enjoyed it a lot but have opened the bottle too early!
AOC: Saint-Emilion, Premier Grand Cru Classe B, Bordeaux
Variety: Merlot, Cabernet Franc
Aroma: fantastic red fruit aroma right after opening, very intense perfume
Palate: after decanting, fruit intensity is not particularly high, has both sweetness and acidity, clear licorice? savory, showed some matured wine traits already, tannin was very smooth already, a little sumptuous, but actually not my favorite, no spicy of merlot, not much sweetness of Merlot either, a balanced and savory wine.
Color: the rim showed beautyful amber color, close to matured status
