Chateau Figeac 2014
St. Emilion
owc
Bottle (12)

"On the palate, the subdued fruit on the attack is a reminder that the right bank struggled in 2014 to achieve the same level of success as the exceptional 2015s and 2016s. But this is not a wine to dismiss in any way. A blend of 40% Merlot, 32% Cabernet Sauvignon and 28% Cabernet Franc, there is dark cassis fruit here, with well-worked silky tannins and a restrained elegance that is given a smile by a coffee bean and smoked almond edge. A well placed wine, working cleverly within its confines, not overstepping them, with huge potential for enjoyment." (95 pts. Jane Anson, Decanter, Feb. 2022)

"The 2014 Figeac is shaping up to be a real jewel of a wine. Powerful and structured, with plenty of tannic spine, the 2014 won't start hitting its stride for at least a few years. Even today, though, it is impressive for its energy and overall intensity. Plum, smoke, spice, graphite and leather build into the huge, expressive finish. Figeac is one of the stars of the vintage. There is real density and gravitas here, not to mention considerable personality." (96 pts. Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Feb. 2017)

"The 2014 Figeac is showing splendidly. Vivid, red berry fruit, raspberry, Tay berry and strawberry intertwine with rose petal and crushed rock. There is less “smoke” than I have noticed in previous bottles. The palate is medium-bodied with a fresh entry, crisp acidity, a lovely underlying salinity with a clean and precise finish." (95 pts. Neal Martin, Vinous, Oct. 2021)

"The 2014 Figeac builds on its promise from barrel and delivers a very fulfilling bouquet with red plum, crushed strawberry, cedar and light graphite aromas that I suspect will close down for a period after bottling. (The bottle tasted at the château displayed a subtle incense aroma.) The palate is very well defined with a crisp line of acidity, sorbet fresh in the mouth and fanning out towards its structured, tensile finish. It is a great Figeac, a superb forerunner to the brilliant 2015 and it should not be underestimated." (94 pts. Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, Mar. 2017)

"The aromas of blackcurrants and fresh forest floor are evocative. Oyster shells and stones. Turns to blackcurrants. Medium to full body and firm and silky tannins that are polished and coat your mouth. The palate is ever dense and concentrated. Needs four to five years to open but already a beautiful red." (96 pts. James Suckling, Feb. 2017)
