Figeac 1970 750mL [High Shoulder, Soiled Label]

"The 1970 Figeac, a vintage not encountered for some while, comes from a golden era for the estate. This bottle has a delicate, slightly minty nose that becomes more cedary with time, with hints of meat juices, maybe showing a little more "funk" compared to other bottles. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins, cohering nicely in the glass and gaining more and more personality in the glass. The Cabernet components take the reins toward the finish with light tobacco and bay leaf notes." - Vinous, AG93 (NM), tasted 4/2023
