Note di degustazione
The 2019 La Tour Figeac has a floral and expressive bouquet with cedar and tobacco-infused black fruit, gaining clarity with aeration, the oak neatly enmeshed. The palate is ripe and nicely structured, showy in style, and judiciously spiced. A mouth filling concentrated finish will need time in bottle. There's a lot of wine here and it should repay cellaring. Tasted blind at the Southwold annual tasting.

Tasted blind. The fruit is a bit tired here on both nose and palate. Plods rather than dances. Drink soon! Drying end. (JR)
Lots of ripe black cherries, mulberries, Christmas spice, incense, and dried flower notes emerge from the 2019 Château La Tour Figeac, a classy, medium to full-bodied Saint-Emilion with supple, finely polished tannins, terrific overall balance, and a great finish. This wonderful 2019 already offers loads of pleasure and will keep for 15-20 years, easily.
The 2019 La Tour Figeac is generous and charming, bursting with aromas of blueberry preserve, sweet spices, dark chocolate and loamy soil. Medium to full-bodied, supple and enveloping, with powdery tannins, succulent acids and a sweet core of fruit, it will offer a broad drinking window. It's produced from gravely soils and contains an appreciable percentage of very old vine Cabernet Franc.
