2010 Château Figeac, St Emilion, Bordeaux

Following on from last year’s marvel, Figeac has done it again. It is almost impenetrable, a huge, brooding beast below the surface, with a dark red/black colour and a viscosity that matches. Having said that, this does not take anything away from the wine; it is incredible! Super-fine tannins and a sweet, silky, velvet-like mouthfeel have amazing complexity and vibrancy that takes your breath away. It might even be better than 2009 if that’s possible. Brilliant.
