Château Figeac 1999 presents a distinctive blend, primarily featuring Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, with the proportion of each reflecting the estate`s commitment to terroir. The wine exhibits a mid-ruby hue with a subtly resolved nose. There are sporadic notes of charred wood alongside a definitive juiciness that characterises its palate. The texture reveals a notable balance, indicative of the estate`s meticulous vinification process. Château Figeac, established in 1874, is unique for its gravelly soils, often compared to those of the Médoc, which contribute to this wine`s distinctiveness.

The 1999 Figeac is fully mature on the nose, but attractive, with iron ore and roasted chestnut infusing the loose-knit red fruit. The medium-bodied palate offers grainy tannin and a rather monotone midpalate. I feel that here the Cabernet does not quite reach full ripeness, sauntering toward a rather predictable, slightly rustic finish that is highlighted by the exemplary 2016 tasted alongside. Drink soon. Tasted from an ex-château bottle at the estate. Neal Martin1st September 2019
