A magnum bottle of 1971 Chateau Figeac Premier Grand Cru Classé from Bordeaux's St Emilion.
'In magnum. Very intense colour with a broad brick rim. Sweet and rich and maybe slightly obviously chaptalised, but there is lots of pleasure. Very fresh and brisk. Now at its apogee; the acid is just starting to push in. A bit animal. Sweet and very, very slightly jammy. Very long, but ageing fast.' 18.5/20 Jancis Robinson.
