Château La Tour Figeac - Saint-Emilion Grand Cru 2014

Vinous

89-92 / 100

byAntonio Gallonithe5/11/2015

The 2014 Château La Tour Figeac is wild and vibrant, with a distinctly savory streak that gives the wine much of its character. Red cherries, smoke, incense and beguiling floral notes from the old-vine Cabernet Franc burst from the glass in a powerful, explosive St.-Emilion that has so much to offer. The 2014 is 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc from a mix of limestone, clay and gravel-based soils. Christine Derenoncourt and Julien Lavenu are the consulting winemakers.

Sweet cherries, earth and stone with fresh picked flowers on the nose, this medium bodied wine has a soft, sweet, cherry finish. 88-90 Pts

The Château La Tour Figeac 2014, a blend of 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc, has a nicely proportioned nose of dark berry fruit mixed with subtle floral scents. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannin, a little bitterness on the entry, but it feels fresh. It tapers in slightly toward the finish, but otherwise this is a fine La Tour Figeac.

Restrained and quite subtle with firm, supple tannins and dark fruits. Medium bodied red with modest length that will be best in 4 to 5 years.

Fragrant nose. Cabernet element evident. Soft and supple. A touch fluid but lift and firmness on the finish. Drink: 2019-2028 (87)

Dark crimson. Very floral nose. Sweet simple start. Easy fruity wine but not that ambitious. A little pinched on the end.

Excellent finish to this red with dark chocolate, berries, minerals and spices. Firm and silky tannins. Very fine indeed. Best in years.

Dunkles Granat, recht satt in der Mitte, rubiner Rand. Defensiver Nasenansatz, man spürt im Untergrund die Würze des Cabernet Franc, erst Tabak, dann etwas Frucht, er bleibt aber zurück haltend.Samtiger Gaumen und mit weichen, passenden Proportionen ausgestattet. Ein milder, aber doch wunderschöner Tour-Figeac. Hier kann man sich, bis zur Flaschenabfüllung noch durchaus weiter positiv überraschen lassen. 17/20 2022 – 2039

Features a hefty core of plum, red licorice and cherry preserves, with a sleek coating of vanilla-accented toast carrying the finish. Solid.
