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: I thought this wine had a very deep cherry or raspberry aroma. On the tongue I felt a lot of tannins, with a slight bit of spice. The wine lingered with a not unpleasant raspberry aftertaste. I would definitely agree with the above review in tasting this wine.
Food? I did not have this wine with food.
