Château Figeac 1988 is a well-aged Saint-Émilion red wine, showcasing a blend comprised of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot. Figeac`s vineyard is notable for its terroir, featuring gravel and sand soils that contribute to the wine`s complexity. This vintage offers a mature ruby hue, revealing aromas of wet earth, dried herbs and dark fruits. On the palate, it displays medium body with integrated tannins, leading to a long finish that exhibits hints of leather and cedar.

Robert Parker
The 1988 Figeac is a beautiful wine that exhibits unusual charm and elegance for this sometimes somewhat firm, lean vintage. Unwinding in the glass with a deep bouquet of dark berries, cigar ash, pencil shavings and smoke, it`s medium-bodied, with terrific intensity of flavor without weight, melted tannins and a long, sapid finish, fleshing out with an hour or two in a decanter to deliver even more texture and mid-palate volume. Its suave, seamless, beautifully balanced profile lends itself to drinking today. - William Kelley
