Intense purple colour with violet hue and almost black core. Quite opulent nose with distinct toasting aroma, vanilla and mild spices, dark chocolate, backed by ripe blackberries, plums and cherries. On the palate opulent character, dark chocolate, elegant toasting aroma, succulent fruit, mild spices and hints of cocoa. A powerful yet elegant wine with freshness.

James Suckling

This is textured and polished with a medium body offering aromas of ripe plums and mulberries, some dark chocolate and dark spices. Ripe and supple tannin structure and creamy finish.

Good length, The tannins is beautifully leading, a touch of grilled bitterness of cacao on the finish line.”

Jeb Dunnuck

A 70/30 split of Merlot and Cabernet Franc that saw 40% new oak, the 2018 Château La Tour Figeac reveals a deep ruby/purple color to go with a classy nose of spiced currants, black cherries, loamy soil, leather, and dried tobacco and herbal notes. It has a savory, complex nose yet brings plenty of sweet fruit and opulence on the palate, with ripe and polished tannins, a rounded, layered mouthfeel, and outstanding length on the finish. The balance is spot on, it has a great mid-palate, and I suspect it will have 15-20 years of overall longevity.

Falstaff

Deep dark ruby garnet, opaque core, violet reflections, delicate brightening of the edges. Somewhat reserved, a hint of heart cherries, ripe plums, hints of orange zest, fine tobacco nuances. Juicy, elegant, sweet fruit, lively structure, round, ripe tannins, a hint of nougat, a balanced food wine with sure maturity potential.

Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider

Quite floral in nature, the medium-bodied wine presents its refined take on black raspberries, cocoa, plum, smoke, spice and licorice. Silky, polished, fresh, and elegant, this is top vintage for La Tour Figeac.
