Jane Anson - 95 Points
This has taken its time to open, and a number of tastings in recent years have foudnd the 2000 Figeac still stubborn - not the case here, and it really is moving into its drinking window. The tannins have now melted, and caress the brambled raspberry and blackberry fruit, with the dominant flavours now more spice and tobacco. Delivers the characteristic finesse of Figeac, and retains enough concentration that you can be confident of another decade or more of fine drinking.
