What the critics say
88 VMVinous, Neal Martin, 01-12-2021
The 1985 Figeac ought to be one of the decade"s great wines à la Cheval Blanc; however, several bottles have never convinced me that this is a top-grade Figeac. The bouquet is fully mature with remnants of red fruit, garrigues, decaying brown leaves and bay. The palate is well balanced and autumnal, elegant with a slight meatiness towards the finish that shows just a little dryness. I would drink all bottles in the not-too-distant future.

Fully mature for a number of years, this wine continues to hold onto life, although aging it any longer is probably fruitless (pardon the pun) unless it is from magnum or larger format. The wine shows a very stylish, cedary tobacco, spicy currant nose, with hints of licorice and new oak. Some sweet currant fruit is present, but the wine fades on the palate as well as in the glass. Drink up. Last tasted, 12/02.
