Decanter: Dark heady scents on the nose, ripe blackcurrants with some dark chocolate touches. Quite a hands off style with lovely fruit purity and delicacy in terms of tannins and wood. A touch grippy on the finish with some cooling liquorice and stony aspects. Really well balanced and well delivered, harmonious with a lovely supple, bounce. Deep and concentrated but with no heaviness.This is really not trying to be something it can't. Fine delicate, compelling. One of the best EP samples I've tried from this estate. 3.7pH. Ageing 16 months, 30% new barrels, 50% one year, 5% amphora."

Lisa Perrotti-Brown: Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2025 La Tour Figeac jumps from the glass with ready-to-go notes of plum preserves and blackberry pie, followed by hints of dried Provence herbs, damp soil, and black olives, with a waft of cedar. The medium-bodied palate is plush with seamless freshness framing the juicy black fruit flavors, finishing earthy."
