Mmmm a Côt is unlike any other Malbec: fresh, fragrant, light with a touch of earth. The terroir is undeniable. — 6 years ago

This smooth, berry blend makes for a wonder night cap after a filling pasta dinner! No bite, very lite in flavor. Great price here in the Ozarks. — 8 years ago

The location is prime. Pure and good level of minerality and good fruit just missing the level of blue and blackfruit. Very balance and the overall tannin and acidic feel is good — 8 years ago

Great vintage. Needs an hour to breath. Very well balanced. Full bodied. Smokey, leather, coffee, pepper, soy... brilliant!! This wine has all the right components to last another 10 years at least. — 9 years ago

This bottle is really pushing the saturation question but remains really focused and expressive. Restrained aromas, full textural. - unfiltered palate. It is top notch Cab Franc in its bass notes. — 11 years ago

This 2015 is a great value. A little thin mid palate, but a very good bordeaux representation for around $20 USD — 7 years ago

Had this with the filet served on our last leg of flying home on Emirates.

This is Figeac’s second wine. Starting with the 2012 vintage going forward, this wine was renamed Petit Figeac.

The nose reveals, soft, slightly muted; blackberries, black cherries, black plum skin, plum, black raspberries & floral purple fruit mix. There’s a good presence of well layered baking spices; cinnamon, soft clove & nutmeg, vanilla, mocha powder, light caramel, dark cola currants, dry clay & top soil, dry stones, sandstone minerals, leathery notes, hints of graphite, anise, dark rich soil, fruit tea with dark red, purple flowers with violets that are slightly withering.

The body is not quite full with dry, fine earthy tannins. The mouthfeel is warm and ripe. It shows beauty & elegance. The structure, soft tension, length and balance reveal the quality of the 09 vintage. Ripe; blackberries, black cherries, black plum skin, plum, creamy black raspberries & floral purple fruit mix. Nicely layered baking spices; cinnamon stick, soft clove & nutmeg, vanilla, mocha powder, light caramel, dark & milk chocolate, dark cola currants, dry clay & top soil, dry stones, powdery, dry crushed rocks, sandstone minerals, cedar, leathery notes, hints of graphite, fresh, soft tobacco, anise, dark rich soil, fruit tea with dark red, purple flowers with violets, lavender that are fresh and slightly withering. The acidity is round excellent. The long finish is good but still needs five or more years to further integrate and soften. It shows a somewhat earthy dominance over fruit. but, it’s still very nice and persistent for minutes. 91 now and room for two to three points more down the road.

If you can still find this at a reasonable price, buy it. It’s going really beautiful in five more years.

Inky violet red. Green pepper is less prominent and the body is juicier and fruitier than other cheap Bordeaux I've had. Oak age defines this: the tannins are big but silked out considerably, and the aroma and finish are decidedly that pruney oak deal. Part of me likes the sharp raw green pepper thing, but this is much more drinkable. This is a buy-again winner. — 10 years ago
