Château La Tour Figeac Saint-Émilion 2016

94 points James Suckling: "Deep and fragrant with some savory character, this is a beautiful St.-Emilion that has a wonderful, silky texture on the fullish palate, as it sails through into the very long finish, thanks to the fine tannins and impressive ripeness. Drink or hold. (02/3/19)." 94 points Wine Enthusiast: "Big and bold, this wine, produced from a biodynamic estate, is packed with dark tannins and intense fruit. It is solid and fruity, clearly built for the long haul. (04/1/17)." 92 points Decanter: "Potent blackcurrant and black cherry, dark cocoa and cedar nose. Supple and lifted with blueberry and wild plum, redcurrant, menthol and graphite. Nicely controlled and weighted in the mouth with lots of liquorice and freshness on the finish. Drink 2023-2040. (03/03/23)." 91 points Wine Spectator: "This has a mix of fresh loganberry, warmed boysenberry reduction and melted red licorice notes mixed together, backed by enticing mulling spice, apple wood and sanguine flavors on the finish. Best from 2021 through 2032. 3,550 cases made. (01/31/19)." 91 points Lisa Perrotti-Brown (Wine Advocate): "The deep garnet-purple colored 2016 La Tour Figeac sings of warm blueberries, Black Forest cake and kirsch with nuances of dried Mediterranean herbs, yeast extract, tilled soil and fallen leaves plus a hint of tree bark. Medium to full-bodied with a firm, chewy texture, the palate gives bags of herb-laced black fruit layers and a long, earthy finish. Drink 2019-2033. (03/29/19)."
