1988 Chateau Figeac

"The 1988 Figeac is a beautiful wine that exhibits unusual charm and elegance for this sometimes somewhat firm, lean vintage. Unwinding in the glass with a deep bouquet of dark berries, cigar ash, pencil shavings and smoke, it’s medium-bodied, with terrific intensity of flavor without weight, melted tannins and a long, sapid finish, fleshing out with an hour or two in a decanter to deliver even more texture and mid-palate volume. Its suave, seamless, beautifully balanced profile lends itself to drinking today." - 93/100 Wine Advocate
