Critics Ratings

'Red with a touch of brick at the rim. Ripe and round with plenty of fruit still in evidence. Majestic bouquet with dark- and red-fruit notes and a hint of leafy freshness. Sweetness on attack then firms up and focuses becoming long and linear. Fine tannins and notable freshness on the finish. Hitting its stride but still a way to go.' - James Lawther MW, JancisRobinson.com, 17.5/20 (Mar 2022)

'The predominance of Cabernet Sauvignon in Figeac has won out in 2005. It shows in the delicious black currant fruits and very fresh, vibrant acidity. The tannins, curiously, are less apparent-maybe all that fruit overwhelms them. Only on the finish is there some austerity and firmness.' - Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast, 93/100 (Jun 2008)

'This is plush and warm in feel, with lots of currant and fig preserve flavors rolling through, inlaid with tobacco, warm stone and bittersweet cocoa notes. Shows a hefty dose of roasted alder on the finish, but in general this has been absorbed, making this a step ahead in terms of evolution, but there's no rush, as a racy iron streak is just starting to show up. Drink now through 2035.' - James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 95/100 (2018)
