Intensives Rubinrot mit violetten Reflexen, in der Nase zarte Rotbeerigkeit und intensive Kräuterwürze, am Gaumen fruchtige Kirschen, Hauch Cassis und feine Kräuterwürze mit Rosmarin, florale Anklänge von Veilchen und ausgesprochen gut strukturiert, langes Lagerpotenzial.

JAMES SUCKLING: "This shows wonderful precision and focus with dark-berry, tobacco, and blueberry character. Full-bodied, tight and vivid. Solid and structured. Really powerful for Figeac. The real new style here of Figeac that harkens back to the great wines of the 1950s and 1940s. This year, equal parts of merlot, cabernet sauvignon and cabernet franc."

WINE ENTHUSIAST: "This is a rich, velvet-textured wine. The Cabernet duo in the blend gives this wine immense structure and brilliant acidity. The perfumed, black currant fruits are layered with the acidity and crisp freshness. The wine finishes with some formidable tannins for the future. - Roger Voss"

ROBERT PARKER - THE WINE ADVOCATE: "The 2018 Figeac is composed of 37% Merlot, 33% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Cabernet Franc, harvested September 17 to October 12 with a 3.7 pH and 14% alcohol. Deep purple-black in color, it charges out of the gate with vivacious black and red cherries, cassis, warm plums and wild blueberries scents plus fragrant hints of violets, star anise, tilled soil and forest floor with wafts of Ceylon tea and chocolate box. Full-bodied and jam-packed with energetic, crunchy black and blue fruits, it has a rock-solid, firm, grainy frame and loads of bright, refreshing sparks lifting the dense layers on the very long, savory finish. Wow - the Cabernet really makes itself known this vintage, and it is good. The signature of this wine is so clear, so defined, that this is a Bordeaux wine without peers. In my view, this is the finest Figeac ever produced. - Lisa Perrotti-Brown"

WINE SPECTATOR: "This is pretty gorgeous, with a velvety texture that lets nearly exotic cassis, plum and blackberry fruit reduction flavors roll through. Has a beautiful bass line of warm earth and smoldering tobacco notes all while keeping its sensational mouthfeel. The encore on the finish makes you realize this is the serious gourmet stuff. One of the highlights of the vintage. - James Molesworth"

DECANTER: "Back to a more traditional blend after last year's frost impact, Figeac has done a wonderful job of harnessing the opulence of the vintage while maintaining freshness. This is extremely focussed and precise, with a silky texture and inky depths, developing complexity as the flavours unfurl. These are big tannins but they steal up on you, doing that subtle creep that's such a marker of the vintage. Powerful, utterly gorgeous and clearly a wine that will age well, this is equal to the estate's excellent 2016.Harvest ran from 17 September to 12 October, giving a 39hl/ha yield (with 70% organic farming, 30% bio-control). 65% of the crop went into the grand vin. 3.7pH. - Jane Anson"

FALSTAFF: "Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, dezente Randaufhellung. Kräuterwürzig-tabakig unterlegte reife Kirschenfrucht, ein Hauch von Lakritze, etwas Cassis, floraler Touch, attraktives Bukett. Am Gaumen fast opulente Extraktsüße, unterlegt mit stattlichem Alkoholfeuer und feinen, tragenden Tanninen, harmonisch, noch fruchtbetont im Abgang, sehr gute Länge, ein weiterer sehr gelungener Figeac der neuen Prägung. - Peter Moser"
