WineSpectator -Web Only - 2018 - JM
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.

The history of Figeac comprises 20 centuries of passionate commitment demonstrated by the men and women who have dedicated themselves to the success at this magical place.
Thierry and Marie-France Manoncourt left their own individual mark on its history through their elegance and visionary approach, enhancing the prestige of the wines of Figeac.
Faithful to these values, Mrs Manoncourt continues to run this First Classified Growth, alongside Count Eric d’Aramon and his wife Laure.
