Was there a noticeable stylistic difference between the “older” Figeacs and the 2015?

Jayson, looking at my oh so brief notes, I would say "yes" there was a "noticeable" difference qualitatively; however, the difference was slight.
My take on the Figeac 2015 versus the earlier vintages validates to some extent the scuttlebutt that Figeac is on the upswing.
As to any "stylistic" change with the '15, sorry, I didn't notice yea or nay. My more favorable view of the '15 might (or might not?) suggest a stylistic change.
The earlier Figeacs, in my view, showed on a par with the Lynch Bages and Ormes de Pez selections while the '15 was a bit better. However, none of them fared so well against the Langoa and Leoville Bartons.

That third course sounds like something I would order for my proverbial last meal.
