Bordeaux Total René Gabriel:

Tiefes Purpur, satt in der Mitte, Granatschimmer am Rand. Warmes, malziges Bouquet, Edelhölzer, Zedern, Pflaumen, völlig harmonisch mit einer reifen Cabernetnote unterlegt. Im Gaumen ein Weintraum schlechthin, Malz, Hustenbonbons, seidige Tannine und so mit der zarten, cremigen Fülle sehr sublim bis zum langen, gebündelten Schluss. Wer sich aufregt dass alle Premiers so teuer sind, der kauft sich halt hier ein paar Flaschen "en Primeur" und erhält bei der Auslieferung in zwei Jahren einer der allerbesten Figeac's. Trinkreife 2019-2045. Bewertung 19/20. -René Gabriel-

Robert Parker Wine Advocate:

The medium garnet colored 2009 Figeac features a very pretty perfume of rose hip tea, lilacs and cinnamon stick over a core of red and black currant preserves plus hints of dried herbs and sweaty saddles. Medium to full-bodied, the palate delivers bags of savory fruit layers with plenty of floral sparks, framed by rounded tannins, finishing on a earthy note. Drink Date 2020-2040. Rating 94/100. - Lisa Perrotti-Brown-

Vinous:

The 2009 Figeac has one of the more Oriental-inspired bouquets amongst its peer group, one that is extremely well defined with scents of pressed rose petals and rolled tobacco emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin. Fresh and vibrant although disappointingly, it cuts off dramatically on the finish. Maybe with time it will just broaden out a little? I hope so because otherwise this is splendid. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners’ 2009 Bordeaux tasting. Drink Date 2023-2040. Rating 94/100. -Neal Martin-

James Suckling:

Even in this super-ripe vintage Figeac retains its usual red bell pepper aroma (from the cabernet sauvignon grape) and that adds a light touch to the opulent fruit cake and spice character. The full fine tannins beautifully support the rich palate and make the finish very long and plush. A great 2009! Drink or hold. (Horizontal Tasting, London, 2019). Rating 97/100. -JamesSuckling.com-
