Default 1993 Chateau Figeac

1993 Chateau Figeac bought on release (2 left from a case). Not a
highly regarded wine from a less than stellar vintage but quite
tasty. I recall opening a bottle years ago and the wine was thin,
light and green tasting. Opened last night with dinner the wine was
medium weight with a bit of glycerin coating the glass. A little
brickish but still a clear garnet red. Nose of red raspberry compote
and cedar. Smooth on the palate showing a bit of maturity with cedar,
spicebox and candied apple flavors with a dominant red currant note.
