Winery review: Figaro is 100% Garnacha, made from a selection of the best grapes grown in the oldest vineyards. While not truly an "oaked wine", a short stay in oak barrels provides a nice spicy flavor boost. Bright violet. Dark berry and cherry aromas show a jammy aspect. Supple and gently sweet, with good lift to its black raspberry and boysenberry flavors. Smooth and broad on the finish, leaving behind a hint of spiciness. Extremely easy to drink and an excellent value.
My review: This wine had a really strong tannic, cherry smell. It was so strong that I ended up coughing after the first sip of wine. It was a bit complex than the wines that I've had in the past. The wine was also bitter with a little spice kick at the end. It was an interesting wine but I wouldn't want too much of it.
I tasted this on its own with no food.
