Notes from critics

This is a very unique blend you will not likely find anywhere else. Yet, it works and works really well. Plenty of ripe dark fruits, with notes of chocolate and baking spices. It's a bit brambly and there's a good tannin and acidity to this wine. It gets better with every sip.

The captivating 2021 Figlia from Figgins, a delightful blend of Petit Verdot and Merlot, presents a striking dark opaque blue-purple core with a blood-tinted rim. Its richness and luxury extend from the nose to the palate, offering a symphony of dark fruits, bramble, pink peppercorn, dusty herbs, wet earth, and sweet spice. The interplay of crunchy yet balanced tannins and delightful acidity leads to an earthy and spice-driven finish. A wine that promises to blossom even more by 2025. Highly recommended and editor’s choice.

A blend of opposites among Bordeaux grape varieties, this melange of merlot and petit verdot gives the plummy generosity of the former and the firm texture and dark chocolate of the latter. It’s well-structured in tannins, deep in fruit flavors and able to age well for several years.
