| Tasting note |
This wine, which was light but charming prior to bottling, appears to have lost what little flesh and allure it once possessed. Light ruby-colored, with insignificant body, a cedary, washed-out, vegetal nose, and short finish, it is a thin, disappointing St.-Emilion. Drink it over the next 3-4 years. *** The 1997 Figeac is very good, possibly excellent. Charming and delicious, with a dried herb, black cherry, licorice, and fruitcake-scented nose, it possesses soft, lush, curranty flavors, but not a great deal of body or depth. It is beautifully harmonious and cleanly made. Drink it over the next 7-8 years. By Robert Parker. |
