Chateau Figeac, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru, France 2020 Chateau de L'Oiseliniere vivid and beautifully sleek blackcurrantA mesmerizing nose here with flowers such as violets and red roses, then shows cherries and currants with some mineral and black truffles. Full bodied yet so refined and harmonized with ultra fine tannins that run the length of the wine. Flavors of perfectly ripened fruit (al dente) with a hazelnut character that comes from the seeds. Incredibly transparent young red. Breathtaking. 37% merlot, 32% cabernet franc and 31% cabernet sauvignon. 100 Pts
