Tasted at the Chateau Figeac vertical at the property, this was the first time that I have tasted the 1979 Figeac, which was cropped at 50 hectoliters per hectare. It has a mature brick rim. The nose is fully mature with singed leather, dried orange peel and musky scents that are defined, but unlike the 1978, seem a little fatigued. The palate is medium-bodied with a fine thread of acidity, quite ferrous in the mouth with a grainy texture and missing some substance on the mid-palate. It tapers towards the finish that finishes short. It is not a terrible 1979 by any stretch of the imagination, though I would drink bottles of the 1979 sooner rather than later. Tasted June 2015.
