Château La Tour Figeac Grand Cru Classé St. Emilion 2016

Flaschenbewertung (Dezember 2018):
"The 2016 La Tour Figeac displays plenty of fruit on the nose: mulberry, a touch of game and even a subtle hint of garrigues! It felt a little incongruous at first but I actually grew to like it more and more as it opened. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly "furry" tannin on the entry. There is good weight in the mouth, structured with a touch of bitter cherry towards the finish, although I appreciate the tension towards the finish, the edginess that comes through. It just needs more finesse and detail to merit a higher evaluation."

"Kräftiges, frisches, süsses Bouquet, Brombeeren, Walderdbeeren, Nougat, Schokolade. Ausgewogener, cremiger, duftiger Gaumen mit süsser Frucht, feinem Tannin, dichtverwobener Struktur, kräftiger, feiner Aromatik, langer, dichter Abgang." – André Kunz

"This has a solid core of plum and blackberry fruit carried by lightly dusty cedar, vanilla and loam notes. Just a touch austere through the finish."

"The 2016 La Tour Figeac is a supple, inviting Saint-Émilion that should drink well upon release. Red-toned fruit and floral overtones add to the wine's delicate, sensual personality. The blend is 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc. Christine Derenoncourt and Julien Lavenu consult."

"Big and bold, this wine, produced from a biodynamic estate, is packed with dark tannins and intense fruit. It is solid and fruity, clearly built for the long haul."

"Blackish crimson. Sumptuous, sweet nose with floral top notes. Very luscious but just a little too sweet to be refreshing. Finishes with rather stodgy tannins. Could become more interesting with time."

"Bright, deeply felt blackberry fruits with the power of a clay-based St-Émilion (they have sand and gravel here also) planted to 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet franc. It conveys a sense of fun, with ripe fruits that ripple with integrity. It could just pick itself up and lift off. Aged in 50% new oak. Stephane Derenoncourt consults."

"Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, fester Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung, reife Herzkirschenfrucht, Nuancen von Pflaumen, zart tabakig, etwas Nougat im Hintergrund. Saftig, gute Komplexität, kirschig auch am Gaumen, feine Tannine, elegant und mit guter Länge ausgestattet."
