Chateau Figeac 2000 St Emilion Bordeaux 750ml/Btl 12/case

Description

Robert Parker: I rated this wine 93 in the post-bottling report
for the vintage, but in two separate recent tastings, I scored the
wine 86 one time and 84 the second time. A disappointment, for
sure, and how I overrated it so dramatically begs many questions,
but I certainly blew it on this one. Medium ruby, already
displaying some rust and orange at the edge, the wines exhibits
crushed and roasted vegetables, licorice, and black cherries in a
herbaceous, thin, washed-out style. Of course, there are those who
would defend this wine as a quintessentially elegant, old-style,
classic wine, but dilution is dilution, vegetal is vegetal, and the
wine frankly lacks concentration and is a major disappointment. I
will keep my fingers crossed that there may be a few 93-point
bottles out there, but neither of these were, and that’s calling it
the way I see it. If you own it (and sadly, I do), try one and see
what you think.
