Chateau La Tour Figeac 2021

Vinum: "Schon in der Nase besonders fruchtig und blumig; eleganter, präziser Auftakt, grosse Rasse, Spannkraft und Länge über fast schon pfeffrigem, herrlich stützenden und erfrischenden Tannin; superber Wein, einer der Hits des Jahres."

Wine Cellar Insider: "Medium-bodied, soft, vibrant red fruits, flowers and touches of cocoa, coffee beans, licorice, herbs and cherries are in the nose and on the mid-palate here, finishing with sweet, ripe, bright, energetic, sweet cherries, red plums, and dark cocoa. Drink from 2023-2038."

Weinwisser: "Verspieltes Bouquet, frischgepflückte rote Johannisbeere, erkalteter Hagebuttentee, zartes Veilchenparfüm und Estragon. Am geradlinigen Gaumen mit seidiger Textur, reifem Extrakt, stützender Rasse, engmaschigem Körper und durchtrainiertem Körper. Im sehr präzisen Finale ein voller Korb roter Kirschen, dunkle Mineralik und körnige Adstringenz, Potenzial."

Suckling: "A fragrant and juicy red with currants, raspberries and mushrooms, as well as bark and spice box. Medium-bodied with silky tannins. Savory and succulent."

Galloni: "The 2021 La Tour Figeac is a mid-weight, gracious Saint-Émilion. Pretty floral accents and a host of Cabernet Franc inflections lend nuance throughout. Sweet red berry fruit, dried herbs and mocha are laced throughout. There's lovely precision and fine balance here."

Falstaff: "Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, dezente Randaufhellung. Orangenzesten, ein Hauch von Edelholz, zart nach Nougat, reife Zwetschken. Mittlerer Körper, reife Kirschen, feine Tannine, dezente Fruchtsüße im Abgang, ein vielseitiger, frischer Speisenbegleiter."

Wine Advocate: "The 2021 La Tour Figeac is a fine effort from this estate bordering Figeac that's in organic conversion. Unfurling in the glass with notes of red berries, cherries, fresh mint, loamy soil and rose petals, it's medium-bodied, seamless and charming, with melting tannins and an elegant, giving profile."

Decanter: "Gorgeous aromas of perfumed, black fruit chocolates - so aromatic. Ripe, rich, concentrated, intense and lively, this has a good depth of flavour, nothing too much, the soft acidity almost in the background while the bramble and summer berry fruits and liquorice-laced tannins do the talking. It's slightly savoury, but with a cool, long and minty fresh finish that really extends the flavours in keeping with its linearity and tension. This has good potential to be more expansive after ageing."
