Chateau Figeac, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru, France 2014 Domaine Jean Grivot Bright and drinkableThe 2014 Figeac has a classic Saint milion bouquet with pure raspberry and crushed strawberry scents, wet stone and smoke, wonderfully defined and vibrant. The palate is medium bodied with fine grain tannin, poised and focused, good backbone with a linear and precise finish that suggests it will require several years in bottle. It is predestined to be overshadowed by the subsequent 2015 and 2016, but you would be foolish to ignore this gem. Tasted
