1966 Figeac, alive & well.

I’m not going to act like this wasn’t old, it was. But I prefer that! This showed notes of coffee, wet soil, dried Cherry & dried orange rind. The structure had completely integrated and left it with a nice fleshy feel. The acid was very alive still.

So fun to drink these old wines, they change so rapidly & so unpredictably! This one for the better fortunately! After an hour the fruit turned more stewed like & some spice began to peak between the cracks. Just spectacular.
