The 2019 La Tour Figeac is generous and charming, bursting with aromas of blueberry preserve, sweet spices, dark chocolate and loamy soil. Medium to full-bodied, supple and enveloping, with powdery tannins, succulent acids and a sweet core of fruit, it will offer a broad drinking window. It's produced from gravely soils and contains an appreciable percentage of very old vine Cabernet Franc. Drink 2023 -2045
From: Bordeaux 2019: The Southwold Tasting (Feb 2023)
The 2019 La Tour Figeac has a floral and expressive bouquet with cedar and tobacco-infused black fruit, gaining clarity with aeration, the oak neatly enmeshed. The palate is ripe and nicely structured, showy in style, and judiciously spiced. A mouth filling concentrated finish will need time in bottle. There's a lot of wine here and it should repay cellaring. Tasted blind at the Southwold annual tasting.
