"The aromas in this are amazing with blueberries blackberries and fresh mushrooms. Black olives. So aromatic. Full-bodied with super velvety tannins and lovely depth of ripe fruit. Balanced. Wild flavors on the finish of meat berries and forest fruits. Hints of decadence."

\"A ripe year like 2009 is kind to the Cabernet Sauvignon of Ch??teau Figeac. The wine is perfumed with new wood and sweet fruits delicious black currant flavors giving both ripeness and freshness. The wine has weight and impressive density. A star of the vintage.\"

\"Distinctive with atypical (for St.-Emilion) force and drive to the black currant roasted cedar and maduro tobacco flavors which are supported by a dense loam-tinged structure. Terrific roasted espresso ganache and fig paste notes wait in reserve. Very muscular but with the cut for balance.\"

"Tasted at the Château Figeac vertical at the property and two or three times over the subsequent 12 months. The 2009 Figeac has shown very variably in the past although my last encounter in 2013 was very positive. How about now? The 2009 seems to have closed down a little since I last tasted it: gravelly and smoky what you might describe as austere for the vintage. Stylistically it is actually similar to the 2008 Figeac with an appealing savory entry grainy tannin a pinch of black pepper and a slightly clipped but focused finish. This is one of the few Right Bank wines whereby the terroir is more expressive than the growing season so it will appeal to those that appreciate the style of Figeac though not necessarily to those that prefer the voluptuousness of the 2009s. Additionally comparing it directly to the 2010 I suspect that it might not have quite as much longevity as the succeeding vintage. That said this is still a knockout Saint Emilion that is going to bestow a lot of drinking pleasure over the years." -Neal Martin

\"Red-ruby. Aromas of redcurrant and plum are complicated by gravel tobacco wild herbs and cedar. Lush suave and seamless with noteworthy energy and a restrained sweetness to the fine-grained flavors of red fruits tobacco and herbs. Insinuating tobacco and cedar notes perfume the mouth as the wine opens in the glass. Very firm wine finishing with noble edge-free tannins lingering spiciness and sneaky length. Quite ripe for Figeac but without any excesses.\"
