Parker about Château Figeac 1981
The 1981 Figeac is a viable wine that exhibits some of the estate's telltale signatures, but it doesn't number among the top successes of the vintage. Exhibiting aromas of dried berries, cigar wrapper, loamy soil and black truffle, it's medium-bodied, with largely melted tannins and initially assertive acids that integrate with an hour or two in the decanter. While this isn't a profound Figeac, it does improve considerably with aeration; so, that's warmly recommended to get the best out of it.
