This is attractive, with black raspberries and blueberries on offer, as well as hints of lilacs, red spices and crushed stones. So fresh and pure character. Full-bodied, big, structured and tight with a fine-grained, chiseled tannin structure that needs some time to soften and integrate, with rich dark and blue fruit hidden underneath. Long and chewy finish. A blend of merlot and petit verdot. Drink from 2026.
More Merlot-dominated, the 2020 Figlia has a floral, perfumed style while still bringing plenty of depth and richness. Medium to full-bodied, nicely balanced, and concentrated, it has both red and blue fruits, lots of floral nuances, ripe tannins, and a great finish.
A blend of Merlot and Petit Verdot comes together for a wine with pungent aromatics of dried violets, rich balsamic notes, wood smoke and turned earth. The palate offers plenty of black and blue fruits and ample structure. Black olives and brine bring a savoury character to the fruit-driven palate. The finish shows the structure and potential longevity.
The 2020 Figlia is a Merlot and Petit Verdot blend that opens with a firm, dark red-fruited, generous nose with a juicy frame of dusty flowers and soft oak spices. Medium to full-bodied, the wine is balanced on the palate with fine-grained tannins before unwinding across the mid-palate to reveal a long, spicy finish. The wine rested for 20 months in French oak, 38% new. Give it another year or two in the bottle before opening. Only 1,370 cases were made. Rating:92+
A wine of precision and subtle torque, this blend offers distinctive currant, tobacco and black olive flavors that gather tension toward broad-shouldered tannins. Petit Verdot and Merlot. Drink now through 2030.
