Château Figeac, Ch. Figeac 1993

79 / 100 Robert Parker
Figeac has a superlative terroir, but the high percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc planted in the vineyards seems to guarantee frightful inconsistency. When it is great (1982 and 1990), this is one of the most compelling wines made in Bordeaux, offering the texture of a sumptuous Pomerol, yet the aromatic complexity of Cabernet-based Medoc. Dark ruby-colored, with a vegetal, green pepper-scented nose, this lean, tough-textured wine offers sweet fruit on entry, but then dries out, revealing severe tannin in its attenuated, light-bodied finish. Is this the wine of choice to accompany vegetable terrines? Drink it over the next 5-6 years.

87 / 100 Wine Spectator
Elegant and subtle, showing a good amount of toasty, vanilla-flavored new wood and a combination of herbal-scented Merlot character with cassis, earth and plum. Supple tannins. Try in 1997.
