Tasting notes

Deep brick-red colour. Slightly browning at the rim. Very fine nose. Noble and complex. Hints of cut grass, cedar, blackcurrant, dark berries. Obvious cabernet franc. Quite powerful St.Emilion in the mouth. Concentrated fruit, silky. Hints of blackcurrant, dark berries, oak, cedar. Good acidity and also still quite some tannins in the back. Good length with dark notes in the finish. Drinking well now, but this seems a very backward Figeac. Very fine indeed.
