Parker about Château Figeac 2000
Tasted at the Château Figeac vertical at the property. It's been a few years since I last tasted the 2000 Figeac. There is a valid argument that it is being eclipsed by the 2001, but it is still a fine Saint Emilion. The nose is clean and fresh with strong graphite aromas, very Left Bank in style with black truffle and smoky notes developing. The palate is masculine and rather austere at first, although I notice that it gains fleshiness in the glass.
