{"product_id":"figeac-1989","title":"Figeac 1989","description":"Figeac 1989 is a mature-vintage, blended red wine from the 1er Grand Cru Classé A St Emilion property of Château Figeac. Château Figeac is one of the finest producers in Saint-Émilion and is just one of fourteen properties classified as Premier Grand Cru Classé (B) in 2012, putting it firmly in the highest echelons of the region. The 1989 is a blend of 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Franc. \"Tasted at the Château Figeac vertical at the property. In many ways, the 1989 Figeac was the biggest surprise of the vertical tasting. Hitherto lambasted by critics (including myself I might add), here it seemed to have undergone some Damascene conversion! Generous on the nose, it does not quite offer the fruit intensity of the 1990, but there are lovely warm gravel and liquorice aromas, all beautifully detailed. The palate is silky smooth on the entry, sensual in style with Provençal herbs and fennel tincturing the mixture of smudged red and black fruit. From all accounts, it appears to have been a wine that shot out of the blocks with style, then ran out of steam for many years. Yet here, it is as if the 1989 has rediscovered that youthful promise, perchance at a point in time when many bottles have been popped and poured.\" Wine Advocate, 2016","brand":"Chateau Figeac","offers":[{"title":"Duty Paid","offer_id":62418342740298,"sku":"HED69828","price":320.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/7696\/2634\/files\/HED69828.jpg?v=1781908847","url":"https:\/\/hedonism.co.uk\/products\/figeac-1989","provider":"Hedonism Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
