1994 Chteau Figeac - France, Bordeaux, Libournais, St. Émilion

Consumed at Bistro Chartreuse in Yonkers, double-decanted one hour
before dinner. I thought it hard as I decanted, but by the time our
main courses came the tannins had softened considerably.
With time a rather beguiling nose of cedar, coffee, and herbs.
Medium-bodied, with enough black plum and cassis fruit to stand up to
the tannins. Old-style St. Emilion, quite good (better than I expected,
after a tough run of '94 St. Ems).
B+/A-

Restaurant is new in Yonkers. $15 corkage. Good escargot, excellent
foie gras. Betsy had a very good steak frites, I had an excellent skirt
steak with carmelized onions. Highly recommended.
